"His (John Owen) focus on the three Persons was and is missing from the West in general. It is vital to restore a full blooded Trinitarianism faith. On the other hand in this he exhibits an over-reliance on allegorical exegesis of the Song of Solomon in "On Communion" - not that an allegorical, Christocentric interpretation of the Song of Solomon is illegitimate - despite attempts in the last century to rule it out - it is simply that this seems to me to be an inadequate basis for such an important argument".

"The man who never reads will never be read. He who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own ... You need to read" - C H Spurgeon. "To fail to learn from the pulpit of the past is to impoverish that of the present" - Tony Sargent

Robert Letham on Trinitarianism faith
Robert Letham on Worshipping the Holy Spirit
"Thus we are distinctly to worship the Holy Spirit and in doing so we worship the whole Trinity. This reminds us of the statement about the Spirit in the Niceno-Constantinopolitan creed - "who together with the Father and Son is worshipped and glorified".
