<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 />
