Owen argues that the triune God's purpose is to glorify himself and save sinners through the perfect work of Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBeyond Polemics: Understanding the Perfect Work of Christ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile often characterized as a polemical defense of the Calvinistic understanding of limited atonement, this work extends far beyond theological debate.
