"The belief that Jesus died for us, suffering the wrath of his own Father in our place, has been the wellspring of hope for countless Christians through the ages. However, with an increasing number of theologians, church leaders, and even popular Christian books and magazines questioning this doctrine, which naysayers have described as a form of "cosmic child abuse," a fresh articulation and affirmation of penal substitution is needed.

Hilary of Poitiers(Updated) His Life and Impact (Biography) by MichaelOvey Paperback, Published 2020 by Christian Focus ISBN-13: 978-1-78191-559-2, ISBN: 1-78191-559-8
"Hilary became Bishop of Poitiers in around 350 and lived through a time of political upheaval and open persecution against the Church. During the fairly short time that he held this office, he fought fiercely against internal heresies: many forms of Gnosticism, Arianism in particular. Relatively little is known about his life, however, his works clearly show a man of intense principle, not merely concerned for his own diocese, but seeki ..."
The Feasts of Repentance From Luke-Acts To Systematic and Pastoral Theology (New Studies in Biblical Theology) by Michael J. Ovey Paperback, 192 Pages, Published 2019 by Apollos ISBN-13: 978-1-78359-896-0, ISBN: 1-78359-896-4
"In gospel proclamation today, the critical New Testament element of repentance can be far too often ignored, minimalised or dismissed. Yet John the Baptist, Jesus himself, and those he commissioned to spread his gospel all spoke of the urgent need to repent. Michael Ovey was convinced that a gospel without repentance quickly distorts our view of God, ourselves and one another by undermining grace and ultimately leading to idolatry. Only ..."
Confident(Updated) Why we can trust the Bible by Michael A. Ovey, Daniel Strange Paperback, 160 Pages, Published 2015 by Christian Focus ISBN-13: 978-1-78191-554-7, ISBN: 1-78191-554-7
"Let's face some uncomfortable facts: many Christians can struggle with exactly the same issues about the Bible as their non-Christian friends. Is God in control? Can he be trusted? Is he moral? Does he care and can he speak into my life and my struggles? Daniel Strange and Michael Ovey set out how we can we place our complete trust in Scripture, challenging both Christian's and those outside the church."
"Why, since the Bible affirms that in Christ 'there is neither male nor female' (Galatians 3:28), do those who stress the importance of biblical orthodoxy in church life still object to the proposed women bishops legislation? This book was commissioned in January 2011 by a number of members of General Synod. Some are in favour of women priests and women bishops, some are not in favour, but all want to see the theological arguments bein ..."

Your Will Be Done Exploring Eternal Subordination, Divine Monarchy and Divine Humility by Michael J. Ovey Paperback, 164 Pages, Published 2016 by Latimer Trust ISBN-13: 978-1-906327-40-8, ISBN: 1-906327-40-8
"The relationship between the Father and the Son in the Trinity has been hotly debated since the earliest centuries of the church. The Church Fathers like Tertullian, Athanasius and Hilary of Poiters wrestled with it; church councils at Nicaea, Syrmium and Chalcedon legislated about it in attempts to define orthodoxy and heresy. What did they and the Bible say, and why does it matter today? The contemporary implications are wider than ..."
"How do the three persons of the Trinity relate to each other? Evangelicals continue to wrestle with this complex issue and its implications for our understanding of men's and women’s roles in both the home and the church. Challenging feminist theologies that view the Trinity as a model for evangelical egalitarianism, One God in Three Persons turns to the Bible, church history, philosophy, and systematic theology to argue for the eterna ..."

"A collection of articles written by Mike Ovey, the former Principal of Oak Hill College. His untimely passing in January 2017 was met with a wave of appreciation for his theological contribution to evangelicalism in the UK and across the world. It was said that his students were his writing - indeed he wrote few books. So here for the first time, together, are articles that Mike wrote for theological journals and conferences. They show ..."
