The divine attribute of ‘dominion’ serves as hinge in the system of theology between God’s life ad intra and God’s works ad extra. In this lucid study, Baylor provides a historically informed treatment of John Owen’s account of divine dominion that engages issues of perennial interest to theology and ethics. The reward for its readers is a clearer picture of Owen’s thought and a fertile resource for contemporary reflection. * Scott R. Swain, Reformed Theological Seminary, USA *

Baylor offers a magisterial synthesis of Owen's richly sophisticated account of God's dominion and its relation to creaturely integrity. Situating this within historical and contemporary debates, he shows how Owen can offer a corrective to misreadings of the Reformed tradition and become a fruitful dialogue partner in wider conversations about the nature of power and the relation of power to justice. As such, this volume both makes a significant contribution to Owen studies and opens up highly suggestive directions for constructive theology and theological ethics. * Suzanne McDonald, Western Theological Seminary, USA * The divine attribute of ‘dominion’ serves as a hinge in the system of theology between God’s life ad intra and God’s works ad extra.
