Ve světě kolem nás je mnoho věcí, které bojují o místo v naší mysli, avšak všechny tyto věci vedou pouze ke smrti. Život a pokoj doprovázejí takového člověka, jehož mysl se soustředí na Boží věci. John Owen (1616-1683) je znám jako jeden z největších anglických teologů. Owen do své činnosti zapojuje jak svou mysl, při psaní teologických prací (svědčí o tom 24 hustě popsaných svazků), tak i své srdce, jako pastýř různých stád - sborů, studentů v Oxfordu, či lidí z vládnoucích vrstev. Díky propojení těchto vlastností vidíme Owena jako pastora-teologa srdce i mysli.

Owen on the Holy Spirit, as this work has been known to generations of Christians, was written by the greatest theologian of the Puritan era. It is, without question, one of the truly great Christian books.

'This battle will last more or less all our days.' In this abridgement of a classic work, The Mortification of Sin, the famous Puritan John Owen shows the need for Christians to engage in a life-long battle against the sinful tendencies that remain in them, despite their having been brought to faith and new life in Christ. Owen is very insistent that believers cannot hope to succeed in this battle in their own strength. He sees clearly that the fight can be won only through faith in Christ, and in the power of the Spirit. Fighting sin with human strength will produce only self-righteousness, superstition and anxiety of conscience. But with faith in Christ, and with the power of the Spirit, victory is certain. The temptations in times like Owen's and ours are obvious on every side; the remedy to them is clearly pointed out in this practical and helpful book.

John Owen presents one of the most rigorous defenses of the Reformed doctrine of justification ever written. This reprint of The Doctrine of Justification by Faith, taken from the nineteenth-century edition produced by the Presbyterian Board of Publications, will serve as a welcome improvement for many readers. Latin and Greek quotations have been moved to footnotes, and English translations are given for those large blocks of material that Owen left untranslated.

While Owen's work is technical and challenging, this edition is an effort to make his profound exposition more accessible.
