The Glory of Christ
I'm here today, absolutely certain that the subject we ought to think about together is the glory of Christ. And the reason that I was absorbed with it at the time is that I was reading a book and I want to commend that book to you; I think it is one of these sell-your-shirt books that you really need to buy and read. It is of course called the Glory of Christ, and this is a new edition of it. It was written in the seventeenth century by John Owen, probably the greatest of the Puritans. And John Owen's book on the Glory of Christ is the classic writing on that subject. This edition was published five years ago by Christian Focus and we're greatly in the debt of Philip Ross, who is known to some of you, who has edited the book for modern readers. And it is really made infinitely easier to read. I do commend it to you. It has one other notable feature and that is an introduction by Sinclair Ferguson explaining who Owen was and how to read his book...I commend that book to you very warmly and anything that I've learned of the Glory of Christ you will find elaborated considerably there.
