Owen's work on justification has long been considered one of the classic Protestant treatments. We are thus confident his writing will, by the blessing of the blessed Spirit of grace, be an effectual antidote to the poisonous perversions of the Man of Sin (2 Thes. 2:3) -- while also helping to obliterate the specious distinctions and definitions invented by the Papists to adumbrate the plain truths of Scripture concerning justification.
"Owen’s masterly account of justification by faith is distinguished from the two other classical 17th-century English treatises on this subject (those of Downame and Davenant) by its non-speculative, non-scholastic character and its dominating pastoral concern. The resurgent Roman challenge, and current Protestant confusion, obliged Owen to write controversially at certain points, but the core of his discourse is straightforward biblical exposition, massive, fresh, compelling and practical. Of all the many Puritan treatments of justification, Owen’s is without doubt the richest."

The Covenanter David Steele, in his classic work, Notes on the Apocalypse, calls John Owen, "that prince of divines among English Dissenters" (see http://www.gutenberg.org/files/14485/14485-h/14485-h.htm for a free copy of Steele's Notes on the Apocalypse).
