Using Owen's sermons from this period, this book studies how his apocalyptic interpretation of contemporary events led to him making public calls for radical societal change. It combines his theological lineage with the historical context in which he preaches, and so represents part of a new historical turn in Owen Studies.
'Martyn Cowan's study of?John Owen and the Civil War Apocalypse ... must be recognised as one of the most important contributions to Owen studies, and a fine addition to the excellent Routledge series in "Religious Cultures in the Early Modern World."' - Crawford Gribben, Queen's University Belfast in Journal of the Northern Renaissance
