Here Owen attempted to expose the excellencies of Christ from various points of view in the Scriptures including the Old Testament, a much needed reminder for Christians; both laymen and preachers, what the gospel is all about. Way too often some modern-day preachers share man-centered gospel and describe salvation through Christ as if it were simply a fire insurance policy to keep people out of hell.
However, despite the abridged version and a sincere effort by Dr. Law to make the text more readable than the original one, I still tend to like a similar text by Jonathan Edwards entitled "The Excellencies of Christ" (1736) better. Maybe I just wasn't patient enough to slowly go through it, like "a title gazer, one who comest into books as Cato into the theatre, to go out again..."

To meditate on the person of Christ in all His glory will be beneficial to anyone who love the Christ of the Scriptures. Any book that can help us to see something of His glory is certainly worthy of our time and attention. John Owen was undoubtably one of the great Puritan theologians, and among the greatest theologians that the Church of Christ has ever had.
Most would agree that Owens style of writing makes him much more difficult to read than some other prominent Puritans such as Thomas Watson,Jeremiah Burroughs,Richard Baxter and Thomas Manton.Since many find Owen so difficult to read hopefully the abridgements that R.J.K.Law has done will give some of John Owens more important works the wider audience which they so richly deserve. Owens 'Meditations on the Glory of Christ ' were first published a year after his death.
John Owen being near death contemplated much on the Glory of his Saviour and these meditations are the fruit of those c9ontemplations at that time in his life.
In the chapter 'Beholding the Glory of Christ by Faith and by Sight' Owen writes on p.102 " The actual sight of Christ is what all the saints of God desire in this life more than anything else-to depart to be with Christ(Phil.1:23);'to be absent from the body and present with the Lord'(2Cor.5:8).Those who do not long for this sight of Christ's glory as their highest joy are unspiritual and blind."
When we contemplate the glory of Christ our minds soar from the things of earth and we are enabled to set our hearts on the things above.If your love for the Lord Jesus Christ is waning ,this is one of those rare books(that under God's blessing)can take that spark of love and fan it into a roaring flame.
