About this title

Synopsis

The author of this volume has a deliberate and very earnest purpose in view. He regards skepticism, with all allied forms of philosophical thought and method such as eclecticism, as likely to claim a far greater sphere of energy in the future than it has in the past. This, too, is in the domain not of theology only, but of philosophy and science as well. For these reasons he regards this work as possessing the extremely useful merit of opportuneness. It responds, indirectly, but not the less completely, to various indications and signs and forecasts which appear to announce a free and skeptical awakening and reenergizing of human speculation.

About the Author

John Owen (1616-1683) was an early Puritan advocate of Congregationalism and Reformed theology. Educated at Queen's College, Oxford, he served under the Puritan government of Oliver Cromwell as personal chaplain to Cromwell and later as vice-chancellor of Oxford. A contemporary of John Bunyan, Owen's extensive body of work includes some twenty-eight books on theological and devotional themes. His later years were spent in pastoral ministry where he served as the leading spokesman for the Protestant Nonconformists.
