John Owen (1616-1683) is widely recognised as one of the greatest of all theologians. In a time when Britain was experiencing religious and political upheaval, he wrote carefully, biblically and extensively on a large number of subjects, including some that were being hotly debated. The True Nature of a Gospel Church and Its Government was published 6 years after his death and shows how the Scriptures should govern every aspect of church life. This simplified and modernized version shows that these issues are just as important today.
