Overcoming Sin and Temptation

The writings of John Owen are a challenge to any reader, to saythe least. His intricacy and complexity are intimidating and hislanguage is downright befuddling at times. However, the depth ofthought and the immense value of Owen's works cannot be quantified.His three classic works on sin and temptation are profoundlyhelpful to any believer who seeks to become more like JesusChrist.

In this volume, the editors have made updates to the language,translated the Latin, Greek, and Hebrew and footnoted difficult orunknown phrases, all without sacrificing any of the wonderfulcontent of Owen's work. It is a uniquely accessible edition of JohnOwen's previously daunting work.

"The editors of this volume have worked hard to make Owen'sunrivalled insight into the Christian's inner war with sinaccessible to all, and the result is truly a godsend."

J. I. Packer, Professor of Theology, RegentCollege
