The Role of John Owen in Theological Studies
Dr. Kyle Klonch emphasizes the significance of John Owen in understanding the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of Christ. Although initially familiar with Owen's devotional writings, it wasn't until his PhD program that Klonch deeply engaged with Owen's theological contributions, particularly his exploration of Christ's humanity and the Spirit's influence. This shift in focus revealed to Klonch how crucial the Holy Spirit was in comprehending Christ's earthly life and mission. As a result, Owen's insights have not only shaped Klonch's theological framework but also provided a fresh perspective on Christ’s solidarity with humanity.
