The Glory of Christ is a book by the English theologian John Owen in which he deals with the theme of Jesus Christ’s glory. Owen argues that the most important thing a believer should aim at is in fact the glory of Christ and that, through it he can justly change and become more spiritual. The first part of the book presents meditations and discourses on the Glory of Christ with the difference between faith and sight, while the second part presents the application of the foregoing meditations.
