<strong>John</strong> <strong>Owen</strong>’s Theological Context<br />
PREFACE<br />
I wish to thank my supervisor, Dr. Garry Williams, for his generous encouragement and<br />
thorough, constructive criticism. During Garry’s sabbatical, Dr. David Field helped me<br />
to formulate a proposal, and asked lots of stimulating questions. Oak Hill’s librarian<br />
Wendy Bell was a model of efficiency in securing various inter-library loans.<br />
I could not have carried out this extra year of study without the generous financial<br />
support of the Evangelical Alliance, the Milne Trust, the Olford Trust, and the Sola<br />
Trust. My work for the Kairos Journal has provided rich intellectual stimulation, great<br />
Christian fellowship, and a delightful avenue in which to serve the Church, in addition to<br />
the welcome pay-cheques!<br />
Finally, it is a joy to thank my wife, Annabel. She has endured more than her fair share<br />
of aimless wittering about <strong>John</strong> <strong>Owen</strong> with great grace, patience, and even apparent<br />
interest. She has encouraged me to keep at it, and with our daughter, Tabitha, has<br />
provided a wonderful reason to take as many breaks as possible from the desk and the<br />
computer.<br />
