Biblical Theology, Book IV: On Abrahamic and Mosaic Theology
by John Owen
📜
First English translation
· originally in Latin
Traces the history of divine revelation through two pivotal epochs: the Abrahamic covenant — God's separation of a new church through Abraham's calling, circumcision, and the covenant of grace — and the Mosaic legislation at Sinai, the culmination of revealed theology through mere men. Owen examines Abraham's pre-conversion entanglement in Chaldean idolatry, the enlargement of Noachic theology, and includes an extensive digression on the origin of ancient Hebrew letters. A masterwork of Reformed biblical scholarship.
