Theology
Communion with God The Divine and the Human in the Theology of John Owen Kelly M. Kapic
Back in Print
The recent resurgence of interest in the Puritan John Owen has resulted in increasing requests for Kelly Kapic’s Communion with God, which was one of the books that helped foster renewed atten - tion on this classic theologian. This book is now back in print with a new preface by the author. Focusing on the concept of communion with God in Owen’s work, this lively study covers key areas such as anthropology, the incarnation, the Trinity, and the Lord’s supper. Owen emerges as a rich dialogue partner not just for historians but for those engaged in contemporary theology and pastoral practice. “John Owen was one of the giants of Puritanism, his massive erudition displayed on every page of the many volumes that flowed from his pen. We now have no better guide to Owen’s thought than Kapic’s study. A most welcomed resource as it probes significant aspects of Owen’s thought for contemporary theology and Chris- tian life.” —DONALD K. Mc KIM, editor, Encyclopedia of the Reformed Faith “This well-rounded research will be of interest to anyone concerned with the development of Reformed theology from a historical or systematic perspective. Kapic has produced a meticulous piece of scholarship that brings a sophisticated and nuanced approach to the exploration of crucial themes in Owen’s theology.” —SUSAN HARDMAN MOORE, School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh (emeritus) “This book, which draws from an impressive array of sources, is a marvelously rich, full, and systematic treatment of Owen’s focus on communion with God. It will enhance our understanding and appreciation of Owen and, most importantly, of personal com- munion with the Triune God.” —JOEL R. BEEKE, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary “Kapic successfully brings together a number of key themes from Owen’s wide-ranging theological corpus in a coherent and satisfy- ing framework of thought. . . . Kapic has ably presented in his book a theologian of the very highest order, whose spiritual fervor and pastoral concern is the engine that drives his magisterial theologi- cal writing.” —ALAN SPENCE, Journal of Reformed Theology
