To understand Owen, we need to see him as a seventeenth-century representative of the Western trinitarian and anti-Pelagian tradition. Trueman demonstrates how Owen used the theological insights of patristic, medieval, and Reformation theologians to meet the challenges posed to Reformed Orthodoxy by his contemporaries. A picture emerges of a theologian whose thought represented a critical reappropriation of aspects of the Western tradition for the purpose of developing a systematic restatement of Reformed theology capable of withstanding the assaults of both the subtly heterodox and the openly heretical.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e288 pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2773\/2624\/files\/9781601788818-claims-of-truth-the-john-owens-trinitarian-theology-carl-trueman.pdf?v=1636671611\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eView excerpt here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1.
