Hi All,

I'm trying to read John Owen's, The Death of Death in the Death of Christ, but I'm having difficulty in reading the old style writing. I seem to have to read very slowly and re-read several paragraphs and still sometimes come away unsure of what I've read. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a modern translation of this book? Thanks for any guidance.

Hey, Rick. Owen takes some getting used to. Just keep reading through it. Once you do start "getting it," you will benefit immensely. It just takes practice.

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

Also, have a look at this post.
