Owen Made Easy

4 comments:

  1. Our editor, James I Packard, strongly suggests your student first use Conversa-Phone’s “Learning Ciceronian Latin” primer before attempting the “John Owen Made Easy” educational series.

    Present Series includes:

    *How to read aloud the so called “hard places” in Owen to make better sense of them

    *How to carry whole theological disciplines in your head

    *How to overcome the lack of broad introductions that ease a mind gently into a subject

    *How to overcome a complete lack of comprehensive summaries

    *How to ignore chapter divisions as reliable pointers for the discourse

    *How to dispense with overrated literary proportion since topic length is determined by intrinsic complexity

    Great for home-scholars, classical scholars, and actual readers everywhere! Publicly-educated students should start with Conversa-Phone’s “Hopping on Pop” series before attempting this series.

  2. You may also want to get the new Princeton and Yale Family Package, which includes: "Jonathan Edwards for Idiots" and "Timothy Dwight for Dummies."

  4. Late to this one; clicking on archives: This is not as daft as it looks: I am currently reading "The Mortification of Sin (John Owen)- Abridged and made easy to read (!)by Richard Rushing" from the Puritan Paperbacks series published by The Banner of Truth Trust. Just the job for a 50 year old whose faculties aren't as sharp as they were!
