Puritans of the 17th Century whose writings and theology have gone through a welcome resurgence of interest in the last fifty years. Dr Steve Griffiths considers how Owen dealt with the problem of Sin, as with all reformed theologians this is 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. Reformed teaching on such topics as predestination, election and assurance of salvation are inextricably bound up with the notion of sin. This book explores how these various doctrines are interdependent as Owen treats them and to analyse their relationship with each other.
