BibleMesh are delighted to be co-sponsors, alongside Crossway, of the International John Owen Convention.

BibleMesh are delighted to be co-sponsors, alongside Crossway, of the International John Owen Convention.
The Convention sets out to think about what we have already achieved in our study of Owen, and what might be the most fruitful new lines of enquiry. Paying attention to Owen’s status in the academy and in the church, it will create opportunities for new thinking about the formation, contextualisation, and reception of Owen’s ideas.
