Brigand posted this entry below on Crossapologian. If you don't have the Death of Death by Owen, it is simply a must read. J.I. Packer writes the introduction linked below. As I was explaining to my wife as she embarks into this great book, those who read it will gain a picture of the glory of Christ they may have not recognized before. For instance, Owen argues for the power and perfection of the priestly office of Christ. That Jesus never fails to save for those whom He intercedes. It makes me wonder what kind of man-centered arguments must be used to object to Owen's arguments. The only way is to make Jesus a failure. How men are convinced of this I will never understand.

Miscellaneous

In light of Howard's previous post concerning Morris' treatment of "propitiation" as consistently used in the Scriptures, I thought it relevant to mention Don Carson's message where he sums up the argument Morris takes up against Dodd quite well here:

Why Trust a Cross?

And for those who haven't quite carved out the time to read Owen's classic, you might appreciate J. I. Packer's attempt to whet the reader's appetite for Death of Death:

Introduction to Death of Death in the Death of Christ

If you haven't been keeping up with the readings, these are both good and quick ways to familiarize yourself with some of the relevant subject matter.
