An Exposition of Psalm 130

Volume 16 of The Complete Works of John Owen addresses the distress and guilt of sin, fear of judgment, hope through Christ, and the promise of God’s nearness when we wait patiently on him. It has been edited for modern readers.

Edited for Modern Readers, This Exposition by John Owen Offers Theological and Heartfelt Observations About Sin, Repentance, and Waiting on the Lord Regarded as one of the greatest theologians in history, 17th-century pastor John Owen wrote extensively on holiness, Scripture, the Trinity, missions, and ecclesiology. His classic works—which have inspired Christian thinkers including Charles Spurgeon, J. I. Packer, and John Piper—remain influential, but until now haven’t been offered in an easy-to-read collection.  The Complete Works of John Owen is a 40-volume project that brings together all of Owen’s original theological writing, reformatted for modern readers. Volume 16 includes A Practical Exposition of the 130th Psalm, in which Owen thoughtfully addresses questions related to finding assurance of salvation. Thorough and pastoral, this work confronts the distress and guilt of sin, fear of judgment, hope through Christ, and the promise of God’s nearness when we wait patiently on him. This volume includes an extensive introduction and outline, as well as comprehensive footnotes and other supporting resources.
