Synopsis

Written by John Owen, one of the best known of the Puritans. In The Mortification of Sin, John Owen insisted on the importance of the Christian dealing effectively with their sinful tendencies and attitudes. He believed that God, through his Word and Spirit, had provided the guidelines and the power for this to be achieved. Owen effectively dismisses various excuses for not engaging in self scrutiny and yet avoids the current trend of self absorption. In so doing he provides principles to help believers live lives of holiness. As with all of Owen's writings, continues to be widely read and greatly appreciated to this day.

Renn translation/modernization: though I had read this before Renn’s version was made it even better. Many modernizations fall flat because they don’t really care about keeping the prose similar to the original but instead putting modern words in instead of out of use terms. Renn does not do this, h......more

2025: At least my tenth read. Every time unlocks new depths. Three observations this time: 1) Chapter 5 is key. Lots of this book is applicable across the board, but it is deliberately pointed at sin habits that are besetting and exceptionally successful and disturbing. This is important to avoid mis......more

Goodreads review by Ben on May 23, 2023

This book is, without doubt, the greatest thing outside the bible I have ever read. It stands as a tier of its own. It is majestic, insightful and God glorifying. Oh the strides in recognition of my own wretchedness and Gods overwhelming glory this book has brought me. Peace of spirit, excitement in......more
