Examining the influence of Thomas Aquinas and his followers upon
the seventeenth century Puritan theologian John Owen, this book
breaks new ground in exploring the impact of medieval thought upon
Reformed scholasticism. Cleveland argues that Owen uses Thomistic
ideas in two ways: first in an Augustinian fashion arguing against
Pelagian and semi-Pelagian ideas of human independency; second in a
Trinitarian fashion, with Thomistic ideas affecting the
understanding of each person of the Trinity. The resulting
theological formulation is strongly Western and Orthodox and
provides a helpful model for theological formulation seeking to
build upon a Western Christian foundation. The works of the
Reformed theologian John Owen have long been admired for their
depth and theological sophistication. In this book Cleveland fills
a significant gap in Owen studies by pursuing a deeper
understanding of the role that Thomas Aquinas and the school of
thought known as Thomism played in Owen's theology, from his works
on providence and salvation by the Holy Spirit to his
Christological work.
