The Death of Death in the Death of Christ
by John Owen · 384 pages · English
John Owen's classic treatise on the extent of the atonement, arguing that Christ's redemption on the cross is effectual and particular for those for whom He died.
Published in 1647, when Owen was only thirty years old, this treatise is his most extensive and rigorous defense of particular redemption — the doctrine that Christ died effectually for those who are finally saved, rather than merely potentially for all of humanity.
The book is structured as a systematic argument followed by a detailed response to the era's most common objections. J. I. Packer, in his celebrated introductory essay to modern editions, described it as one of the most rigorous works ever written on the work of Christ.

Nobody has a right to dismiss the doctrine of the limitedness, or particularity, of atonement as a monstrosity of Calvinistic logic till he has refuted Owen's proof that this is what the New Testament actually teaches.
