The Person of Christ, Declaring a Glorious Mystery - God and Man by John Owen and published by Christian Focus Publications.
John Owen sought to illustrate the mystery of divine grace in the Person of Christ. Owen's Christology has always been highly valued and this title is regarded as one of the most important post-Reformation works.
This new edition of The Person of Christ is now the sixth volume selected from the massive corpus of Owen’s Works which Christian Focus have published under the careful and skilled editorship of Dr Philip Ross. His aim has been to highlight the value of this particular book and to present it in a way that is both attractive and helpful to the modern reader. Owen himself would surely have approved. For he had a passion not only to defend the truth about Christ against attacks, but to communicate it to ordinary Christians like ourselves.
This was a deeply-held pastoral conviction and commitment. As early as 1645 (when he was a young minister still under thirty years old) he wrote two catechisms for his congregation at Fordham in Essex. While engaging in theology at the highest of seventeenth century levels, he also held the conviction that all theology worth its name has a practical bearing on the Christian life. At the heart of this lies the knowledge of God in Christ. It is simply not possible to know too much about him! And the more and better we know, the greater our trust in him and love for him should grow.
