Of Communion with God

by John Owen

Modern English translation available

A masterwork of Puritan devotion, this treatise unfolds the distinct communion believers enjoy with each Person of the Trinity — with the Father in love, the Son in grace, and the Holy Spirit in consolation. Drawing on 1 John 1:3 and the Song of Songs, Owen demonstrates that genuine fellowship with the triune God is the heart of Christian experience. Three parts trace the grounds, nature, and practical pursuit of this holy communion, with two celebrated digressions meditating on the excellencies of Christ.
