Sin and Temptation The Challenge to Personal Godliness

'Owen did more than anyone else to make me as much of a moral, spiritual, and theological realist as I have so far become ? And he made every point by direct biblical exegesis, handling Scripture with a profundity that I had not met before, nor I think since save in Luther, Calvin, and Jonathan Edwards.'?J. I. Packer, from the IntroductionAbridged from the writings of the Puritan theologian John Owen (1616-1683), Sin and Temptation helps us recover the concepts of sin and individual responsibility our world has all but destroyed. Owen deals with the problem of our sinfulness, showing that there is far more to indwelling sin than many of us realize. He goes on to describe the Holy Spirit's ministry in and to the believer, and the true nature of spiritual growth and progress. Owen embodied the best of Puritan devotion: the awe of God, humility, wisdom, and an awareness of God's grace. J.I. Packer's introductory essay describes how Owen's writings shaped his own spiritual formation.Owen, John is the author of 'Sin and Temptation The Challenge to Personal Godliness' with ISBN 9781573832380 and ISBN 1573832383.
