Of the Mortification of sin in Believers

A searching Puritan treatise on mortification grounded in Romans 8:13. Owen argues that only Spirit-empowered believers are called and equipped to wage war against indwelling sin — not the unregenerate, and not by self-invented disciplines. With pastoral urgency he dismantles Roman Catholic and moralistic approaches to self-denial, then offers concrete directions for killing particular lusts: examining symptoms, burdening the conscience, meditating on God's majesty, and drawing on Christ's death. A classic of Reformed practical theology.
