“Despite wide acclaim for John Owen (1616-1683) as the leading representative of the Reformed doctrine of particular atonement, a thorough examination of Owens views on the atonement has yet to be undertaken. This work is the first full-scale monograph on Owens atonement theology and therefore fills the apparent lacuna. Drawing on recent historiographical studies on the intellectual history of Protestant Orthodoxy and the full range of Owens writings, the author demonstrates that at the heart of Owens atonement theology is his peculiar understanding of Christs priesthood conceived in terms of the oblation and intercession of Christ, performed in the states of humiliation and exaltation. COMMENDATION “”Edwin Tay presents a vivid and valuable portrait of John Owens atonement theology. His book, elegantly written and meticulously researched, brings a fresh and original approach to a key theme in Owens writings.”” – Susan Hardman Moore, University of Edinburgh, UK”
