I don't think so.

Have you heard that these are available? I'm curious because from what I understand, Owen's house burned down a few years after his death, consuming his journal and letters.

I had a copy of it in my hand in a Library yesterday, and you can purchase it of Amazon. I am just wondering if there is an addition online anywhere?

You probably have to go used books to find it.

I believe JIPacker {edit}Peter Toon, a living man, compiled and edited the work, so it is probably still copyrighted by him.

Its about £20 on Amazon at present. The edition I was looking at was edited by Peter Toon. Has JI Packer compiled a larger edition?

OOPS! Wrong living Anglican divine. Toon it is.

I was not even aware that man was a Christian. Never heard of him before.

The online edition looks sufficient, as most of the letters are fairly short. That saves me £20.

He seems to have written some interesting stuff.

Are John Owen's Oxford Orations in his works? Just noticed them in the above link.

I have either a masters or a doctorate work on Owen's political philosophy. I'll see if I can't get it to you one way or the other.

When I first read this I thought you were going to give me a Master's or a Doctrate...then I thought you meant you had a Masters or a Doctrate, but could not remember which one it was...but now I have figured out what you mean.

Nope. They're also edited by Peter Toon.

Peter Toon has given what I believe is the best treatment of the Tractarian Controversy. I recommend it highly. See Peter Toon, Evangelical Theology 1833-1856: A Response to Tractarianism (Atlanta: John Knox Press, 1979).

I see in the back of one of Gary North's books that he wrote a book on the Puritans and the Restoration of the Jews; that sounds like something worth following up.

This may be the book you had in mind:

Yes that is the one.

Peter Toon's older brother, Car, is very famous - especially among children.

Talking to oneself is, I believe, considered a sign of lunacy. Thinking to oneself is most certainly a sign of it. - G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936), in January, 1906

That's cheesy.

Actually, it's Looney.
