Books by Ty Kieser
Owen
Among the Theologians
“What a rich and generative book this is! In dialogue with a splendid array of conversation partners, this highly accessible volume offers a wonderful ‘way in’ to the breadth of John Owen’s theology for those who are not yet familiar with him, as well as fruitful insights for those already acquainted with his work. Throughout the volume, Kapic and Kieser engage with the best of recent scholarship and model how to go about theological retrieval in a way that offers a constructive theology for the church and leads us to doxology.”
Suzanne McDonald, Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology, Western Theological Seminary
“Serving as an introduction both to key doctrinal loci and to John Owen as a theologian, Kapic and Kieser’s work is a profound meditation on theological reasoning. Through each topic, readers see clearly why Owen is recognized as one of the most important Reformed theologians in the Protestant tradition. Learn alongside Owen with two of the most significant Owen scholars working today.”
Kyle Strobel, Director of the Institute for Spiritual Formation, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University
“Kapic and Kieser are like chefs who have prepared a tasting menu, pairing dishes with wine, which are even better when matched and taken together. Certain doctrinal loci of John Owen are paired with a number of authors as obvious as the ABC’s of theology (Aquinas, Barth, Calvin), as well as rather pleasantly unexpected and mellifluous pairings as Macrina and Lemuel Haynes. Here is a beautifully written and theologically reflective account of why and how Owen has a place among the theologians worth engaging to consider human flourishing within the context of the love and glory of the triune God. Come join the feast!”
Paul C. H. Lim, Professor of Humanities, Hamilton School for Classical and Civic Education, University of Florida

“John Owen is famously difficult, demanding and profound. He continues to inspire theological refection of the highest order. Dr. Kieser has written a first-rate study that will greatly assist anyone interested in trinitarian orthodoxy from a traditional Reformed point of view.” ―George Hunsinger, Princeton Theological Seminary
“Building on his ground-breaking earlier publications, this book establishes Ty Kieser as one of the most important voices in John Owen scholarship – and shows how early modern Protestant scholastic sources can offer intellectually satisfying and pastorally sensitive wisdom in modern theological debates.” ―Crawford Gribben, Queen's University Belfast, UK
Who Do You Say I Am?: On the Humanity of Jesus
Co-edited George Kalantzis and David B. Capes
"Too easily, even believers become almost agnostic about God. We prefer to keep things amorphous, universal, esoterically spiritual--because we fear the fleshly love that meets us on the cross. The deeply moving and inspiring essays in this volume invite us to see and touch and hear Jesus Christ again." –Matthew Levering, Mundelein Seminary
"Now well into the twenty-first century, we face the temptation to live our whole lives 'in the cloud' of social media and online entertainment and work. The Christian doctrine of the Incarnation, the humanity of Jesus, has the possibility of helping us re-claim our own embodiment for the good of self and community. Who Do You Say I Am? is not just helpful readings about Jesus, but also an important set of reflections on human life in the world. Here is a powerful antidote to over-spiritualized versions of Christian faith."
--Nijay Gupta, Northern Seminary
