Defending Particular Redemption | John Owen

Deep Dive into The Death of Death in the Death of Christ by John Owen - An Entrance to the Answer unto Particular Arguments In this theological text, John Owen defends the doctrine of particular redemption, arguing against the concept of universal salvation. He scrutinizes biblical passages like John 3:16 that are frequently cited by opponents of his view. Owen asserts that the love of God and the term world in scripture specifically refer to the elect rather than the entirety of humankind. He contends that interpreting these terms universally leads to theological absurdities and contradictions regarding God's power and intentions. Ultimately, the author maintains that Christ's sacrifice was intended exclusively to secure the eternal salvation of believers rather than to offer a fruitless general ransom for everyone.
