- Summary:
- John Owen was a leading theologian in 17th-century England. Through his association with Oliver Cromwell in particular, he exercised considerable influence on central government, and became the premier religious statesman of the Interregnum. But far from personifying the Reformed tradition, as is assumed by the current scholarly consensus, he helped to undermine it. He offered an account of Christian faith which contributed to the formation of evangelicalism.
