The Reason of Faith

by John Owen

Modern English translation available

A rigorous exploration of why Christians believe Scripture to be the Word of God. Owen moves beyond external evidences — historical proofs, the testimony of the church, rational arguments — to argue that the Bible possesses a self-evidencing light discernible only through the illuminating work of the Holy Spirit. Engaging Roman Catholic, rationalist, and skeptical objections alike, he builds a compelling case that true faith in Scripture rests not on human authority or bare reason, but on divine testimony apprehended through supernatural grace. A landmark of Reformed epistemology, deeply relevant wherever questions of biblical authority persist.
