It deserves attention that this pamphlet, with its humble title, "A Discourse concerning Liturgies," etc., and printed anonymously in 1662, contains the judgment of our author in regard to measures which gave rise to most important events in the ecclesiastical history of England. It is an argument against the liturgy, the imposition of which obliged nearly two thousand clergy of the Church of England to resign their livings rather than sacrifice a good conscience.

Volume 8 of the Complete Works of John Owen explores the Holy Spirit's role in prayer, assuring salvation, and equipping the church for ministry. These 3 treatises have been edited for modern readers by Puritan scholar Andrew S. Ballitch.

In his "Discourse of Ecclesiastical Polity" Samuel Parker decried religious toleration as unfriendly to social order, and attempted to blacken the character of the Nonconformists. Owen was chosen to reply to Parker, which he did in one of the noblest controversial treatises that were ever penned by him. The mind of Owen seems to have been whetted by his deep sense of wrong, and he writes with a remarkable clearness and force of argument; while he indulges at times in a style of irony that is perhaps justified by the baseness and wickedness of Parker's sentiments.

Volume 7 of The Complete Works of John Owen includes 2 treatises on illumination and biblical interpretation--written by 17th-century theologian John Owen and edited for modern readers by Andrew Ballitch.

The book "" The Fashionable World Displayed "", has been considered important throughout the human history, and so that this work is never forgotten we have made efforts in its preservation by republishing this book in a modern format for present and future generations. This whole book has been reformatted, retyped and designed. These books are not made of scanned copies and hence the text is clear and readable.

What is faith? What kind of faith does God accept? How does faith glorify God in seasons of calamity? In this collection of sermons, Puritan divine, John Owen, masterfully applies his vast biblical and theological knowledge to his definition of saving faith and offers us the details for what it means for "the righteous to live by his faith" (Hab. 2:4). Every believer will find this thorough treatment of the subject of faith to be encouraging and extremely edifying. Speaking of John Owen, Charles H. Spurgeon remarked, "It is unnecessary to say that he is the prince of divines. To master his works is to be a profound theologian." With sensitive pastoral care, acute theological precision, and tremendous theological depth, Owen guides us into a rich understanding of what it means to have faith and live by faith.

Owen's commentary on Hebrews will inspire contemporary believers as they seek to uphold and defend Christianity in a pluralistic world. A Crossway Classic Commentary.

From the Editor's Preface: "Owen explores in great depth what it means to kill sin in our lives. Killing sin is a path that we take toward personal holiness. It is how we maintain communion with God by honoring him with our obedience, exercised in cooperation with, and under the power of, the Holy Spirit. Holiness is not a list of do's and don'ts, like not swearing or not drinking alcohol. That would only be returning to the law that Christ freed us from."

In A Brief Instruction in the Worship of God, which came to be known as The Independents' Catechism, Owen outlines the constitution and ordinances of a Christian Church, and explains the duties of office-bearers and members. Scarcely fifty questions, this short catechism gives insight into one of the greatest Puritan theologians and provides rich spiritual nourishment.
