Redeem the Time:Sin in the writings of John Owen
|
John Owen was one of the great Puritans of the 17th Century whose writings and theology have gone through a welcome resurgence of interest in the last fifty years. His writings are a constant reference source for spiritual truths and practical insights.
Dr Steve Griffiths considers how Owen dealt with the problem of Sin, which as with all reformed theologians was a fundamental concern in his thinking. Owen’s treatment of sin does not stand in isolation; it can only be considered in the light of his doctrine of God and what it means for man to reflect that image.
Steve Griffiths is an Anglican minister, serving an inner city congregation in the East End of London. Steve is Chief Editor of 'The Journal of Youth and Theology' and has written many articles on the topic. He lectures regularly in both London and Oxford. Steve is married and has one daughter.

"Evangelicals have lost our forefathers' sense of the depth of sin and the need for holiness; I believe that this book, in bringing us to Owen's writings, could help us to recover it."
Stephen Walton, Churchman
"To read John Owen is to enter a rare world. Whenever I return to one of his works I find myself asking ‘Why do I spend time reading lesser literature?’ I believe all lovers of John Owen and his writings, like myself, will salute Dr Griffiths for sharing with us the results of his arduous studies. …the rediscovery of Owen’s theology has proved to be a great blessing to many. Into that blessing I hope you will now allow Dr Griffiths to lead you."
Dr. Sinclair B Ferguson
"John Owen, prince of Puritan theologians, continues to be the subject of continued interest and research, and Steve Griffiths’ work is a welcome addition to material on Owen. He rightly sees Owen’s sense of sin and its seriousness as fundamental to his theology, and is concerned to expound Owen’s doctrine as it relates to sin in the individual, in society and in the church. Only thus can we see the richness of God’s grace in providing a sufficient redemption in Jesus Christ."
Iain D. Campbell, Free Church of Scotland
"Like John Owen, Steve Griffiths is a minister of the gospel with a deep love for Christ and for his word, and who is passionately concerned to make the teaching of the Bible relevant to his inner-city congregation in the twenty-first century. In a therapeutic and self-obsessed age such as ours, the church needs to hear again the Pauline teaching on sin and grace which Owen expounded so brilliantly."
Carl R Trueman, Associate Professor of Church History and Historical Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia
