John Owen on the mystical body of Christ:
"This, then, I say, is the foundation of the imputation of the sins of the church unto Christ—namely, he and it are one person. . . . Christ and believers are neither one natural person, nor a legal or political person, nor any such person as the laws, customs, or usages or men do know or allow of. They are one mystical person. . . ."
—The Doctrine of Justification by Faith (vol. 5; Works, Banner of Truth), p. 178.
