The Death of Christ (Volume 9)

Edited for Modern Readers, This Treatise by John Owen Presents a Compelling, Biblical Defense of Definite Atonement

Regarded as one of the greatest theologians in history, 17th-century pastor John Owen wrote extensively on holiness, Scripture, the Trinity, missions, and ecclesiology. His classic works—which have inspired many Christian thinkers including Charles Spurgeon, J. I. Packer, and John Piper—remain influential, but until now haven’t been offered in an easy-to-read collection.

The Complete Works of John Owen is a 40-volume series that brings together all of Owen’s original theological writings, reformatted for modern readers. Volume 9, edited by Richard Snoddy, includes the treatise The Death of Death in the Death of Christ, in which Owen challenges the doctrine of universal redemption and presents a biblical case for definite atonement. Along with extensive introductions by the editor, this volume includes outlines, footnotes, and other supporting resources.

This landmark series—which will be published over a number of years—presents Owen’s prolific work in an easy-to-read layout to reach and inspire a new generation of Bible readers and scholars to deeper faith.
