In this book, John Owen (1616-1683) conveys the importance of the glory of Christ in the life of a believer. Meditating and savoring the glory of Christ transforms us into His image and gives us joy and strength to follow Christ to the end.
The Glory of Christ was published in 1684, one year after Owen's death. Throughout the book, you can hear his own longing for the perfect vision of Christ's glory in heaven.
This edition attempts to make Owen's writing more accessible to modern readers. It includes the following updates:
- Complete and carefully updated text.
- Sentence-level rewriting and rewording for clarity.
- Modern English sentence structure.
- Modern English vocabulary.
- Updated organization and headings.
- English Standard Version (ESV) scripture references.
- Scripture quotations in footnotes.
- Active table of contents.
Christian classics from this time period are filled with Biblical wisdom, but they are often hard to read. This is an unabridged, sentence-by-sentence update of John Owen's original book. My prayer is that you find this edition much easier to understand and that God would bless you through any teaching that is in line with His Word and the gospel!
