A Treatise of the Dominion of Sin and Grace

Name: A Treatise of the Dominion of Sin and Grace
Author: John Owen

A searching examination of Romans 6:14 — "Sin shall not have dominion over you" — by one of the foremost Puritan theologians. Owen distinguishes between the reign of sin and sin's mere presence in the believer, equipping readers to assess their own spiritual state with honesty. With pastoral precision he diagnoses the symptoms of sin's dominion: hardness of heart, corrupt imagination, neglect of mortification, and reserve for known sin. He then shows how grace, not law, breaks that dominion — through Christ crucified, the Holy Spirit, and the continual supplies of gospel strength.

A TREATISE OF THE DOMINION OF Sin and Grace,

Wherein sin's reign is discovered, in whom it is, and in whom it is not: How the law supports it: How grace delivers from it, by setting up its dominion in the heart.

*Romans 6:14.* For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under the law but under grace.

By the late pious and learned minister of the gospel John Owen, Doctor D.

LONDON, Printed by J. L. for William Marshal, at the Bible in Newgate-street, 1688.
