Classic Christian work
The Nature and Practice of Repentance
by William Perkins
📘 Modern English translation available
Two treatises bound together in urgent pastoral purpose. The first defines repentance as a work of grace — examining its causes, parts (mortification and new obedience), degrees, and the daily practice of examination, confession, and prayer. Legal and evangelical motives press the reader toward immediate action. The second treatise expounds Galatians 5:17, tracing the ongoing combat of flesh and spirit within every believer and showing how this conflict shapes Christian experience, humility, and perseverance.
