Biblical Theology, Book V: On the Corruption and Restoration of Mosaic Theology

Book V of Owen's *Theologoumena Pantodapa* (1661), tracing the corruption and partial restoration of Mosaic theology within Israel's history. Owen catalogs Israel's idolatry with exhaustive scholarly precision — surveying the foreign gods (Baal, Molech, Ashtaroth, the calves of Jeroboam), the biblical terminology for idols, and the superstitious rites borrowed from surrounding nations. He then treats the Ezraitic Reformation, the Great Synagogue, and the divine origin of Hebrew vowel pointing. Concluding chapters address the LXX translation, the Targumim, and the Jewish practices observed by Christ. A monument of Reformed theological-historical scholarship.
