The Holy Spirit - The Comforter

by John Owen

Crossway Introduces the Collected Works of John Owen, Updated for Modern Readers

Regarded as one of the greatest theologians in history, 17th-century pastor John Owen’s works remain influential, but until now haven’t been offered in an easy-to-read collection. The Complete Works of John Owen is a 40-volume series that brings together all of Owen’s original theological writing, reformatted for modern readers.

Volume 8, The Holy Spirit: The Comforter, includes the treatises “The Work of the Holy Spirit in Prayer,” “The Holy Spirit as a Comforter,” and “A Discourse of Spiritual Gifts.” Each treatise has been edited for modern readers by Puritan scholar Andrew Ballitch.
