Author
John Owen
Oxford scholar, chaplain to Cromwell, and a doctor of the soul.
John Owen was one of the most capable minds of the English 1600s. He was chaplain to Oliver Cromwell and vice-chancellor of Oxford University, then spent his later years as a pastor in London.
He wrote huge works of theology, but his most loved books are short and practical: how to fight sin, and how to stand up under temptation. Both began as sermons preached in Oxford.
“Be killing sin, or it will be killing you.”
