Review of the Annotations of Hugo Grotius

A sharp polemical defense of orthodox Christology against the influential biblical annotations of Hugo Grotius, the Dutch jurist and theologian. Owen systematically demonstrates that Grotius, in his widely-read Scripture notes, abandoned his earlier arguments for Christ's deity and satisfaction — openly adopting Socinian interpretations of key passages in Isaiah, Romans, Hebrews, and the Epistles. Written in 1656 as a reply to a published defense of Grotius, this treatise exposes the theological dangers of his annotations for Reformed students and upholds the substitutionary atonement against its learned critics.
