Divine discourse: the theological methodology of John Owen, c.1-2

---

Owen has been called the greatest theologian to write in the English language, but it is safe to say he is hardly the most accessible! The long sentences and the arcane vocabulary aren't too bad once you get used to them, but it can be difficult to follow his flow of thought if you aren't familiar with the intellectual framework from which he is writing, namely Reformed Scholasticism. Reformed thinkers such as Owen adapted Aquinas's scholasticism to the needs of Reformed theology. When Owen starts distinguishing between, say, the "formal cause" of belief and the "material cause" of belief you can easily become quite confused if you don't know that he is implicitly referencing the scholastic categories. Rehnman provides the necessary background to understand this terminology.
