Appraise Based On Books The Glory of Christ (Works of John Owen #1)

I love to start my year with a Puritan Paperback, and this year's choice didn't disappoint. Of course it didn't--it was John Owen!Wow. Owen maybe doesn't have the emotional resonance of Samuel Rutherford or isn't as pithily quotable as Richard Sibbes (both of whom I adore), but he illuminates the role of Christian teaching in our daily walk more beautifully than anyone I've read. Particularly the importance of a right understanding of the person of Christ, and how meditating on those glories

This book has been abundantly helpful in my walk with Christ and making Him my chief joy. I will be recommending this book for years to come

I heard of this book through J.C. Ryle, who quoted it quite a bit in his "Holiness". Convicting is the word I'd use to describe this. One of Owen's statements I found particularly convicting is that if you don't take pleasure in pursuing God in earth, or enjoy meditating on His glory, or seeking to serve Him, you're not prepared for heaven. And you know, I don't usually give Heaven much thought but-- he's right! I'm usually not a fan of abridgements, but this one was well done.

This is an accessible entry into Owen if you have not read him before. Short chapters make it easy to read and reflect. Owen writes about how Christ's glory is revealed through various aspects of His person and work. Especially helpful at the end are two chapters on recognizing and recovering from spiritual decay.

It takes time and patience to read John Owen. Owen is like a Jeweller with a diamond- turning the thought over and over to point out another breathtaking view of the diamond. This short version of The Glory of Christ, the greatest of all theological diamonds, is one of my favourites of Owen's writings. The digressions at the end are worth the cost of the book. They demonstrate that Owen was not simply a hide-away theological monk but studied with the spiritual struggle of believers and the souls

Like other Puritan works, Owen's The Glory of Christ can become a bit repetitive at times, but the main thrust of the author is worth dwelling on - the inestimable benefits of meditating on the glory of Jesus. The works of the Puritans are the best devotional literature I have yet found, and Owen's work is no exception. Read slowly and savor.

I know and respect so many people who love Puritan writings and because of that I so wanted to love this book, too. But I have to be honest: much of this book I found dry and it did not encourage my faith. In fact, I felt the author was trying too hard to explain something the Bible doesn't choose to quantify. Also, his repeated use of "which can only mean" to expostulate Scripture rubbed me very wrong. Not being in the Biblical canon, I don't think Owens gets to say what the *only* explanation
