Moreover, it's also critical to read Owen's excercitations on the priesthood of Christ and the Covenant of Redemption (volume 2 of his commentary on Hebrews). This contains Owen's mature thought.
Death of Death was written when Owen was a young man of 31. Remember: to faithfully understand Owen one must recognise when he wrote what he did. His thought evolves over time.

Well if what you,.say is true Marty, then his thought became wrong after being 31.. Maturity does not always equal correctness of doctrine in certan instances..
