Communion with the Triune God
October 31, 2007
Kelly Kapic and our own Justin Taylor have just edited John Owen's classic work Communion with the Triune God. It is everything that one can hope for in theology: Trinitarian, Gospel-centered, passionate, written by a prince among all theologians.
The original title says it all: "Of Communion with God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, each Person Distinctly; in Love, Grace, and Consolation: or, The Saint's Fellowship with the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Unfolded." Here Owen gives us the goal of our union with Christ: communion with the Triune God.
If you are a pastor, especially, and have not read through a really good or substantial work of theology in some time, do your soul (and your congregation) a favor and read this book.
