John Owen between Orthodoxy and Modernity: Studies in Reformed Theology, cartea 39

Willem van Vlastuin, Kelly M. Kapic
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 mar 2019
This volume offers fresh reflections on John Owen, a leading Reformed theologian who sat on the brink of a new age. His seventeenth- century theology and spirituality reflect the growing tensions, and pre-modern and modern tendencies. Exploring Owen in this context helps readers better understand the seventeenth-century dynamics of individualization and rationalization, the views of God and self, community and the world. The authors of this volume investigate Owen’s approach to various key themes, including his Trinitarian piety, catholicity, doctrine of scripture, and public prayer. Owen’s international reception and current historiographical challenges are also highlighted.

Contributors are: Joel R. Beeke, Henk van den Belt, Gert A. van den Brink, Hans Burger, Daniel R. Hyde, Kelly M. Kapic, Reinier W. de Koeijer, Ryan M. McGraw, David P. Murray, Carl R. Trueman, Willem van Vlastuin.

Recenzii

"There has been a serious re-evaluation of Protestant scholasticism in recent scholarship: no-one now seriously pushes the ‘Calvin against the Calvinists’ line, or doubts the influence of medieval thought on post-Reformation theology. Stressing how continuous early modern orthodoxy was with the medieval tradition, however, invites a new error: a distancing of orthodoxy from modernity. The essays in this volume address this question directly, and powerfully. Owen is judiciously located in different ways as someone who inherits much, and also prefigures much. We learn much about Owen, and much about intellectual history, from these important essays." — Dr. Steve Holmes, Senior Lecturer, University of St Andrews
"Recent scholarship has shown a growing interest in John Owen as one of the most important theologians of the Reformed Orthodox period. This carefully edited volume brings together some of the best contributions to a very stimulating conference, held at Apeldoorn on the four-hundredth anniversary of Owen’s birth. It not only presents the state of the art of research on Owen, but also opens up new vistas by discussing his complex relationship to modernity. The collected essays are written by experts in the field and deserve a wide readership. It is a pleasure to recommend this superb volume." — Prof. Dr. Andreas J. Beck, Rector and Professor of Historical Theology, Evangelische Theologische Faculteit, Leuven
