Editors Justin Taylor and Kelly Kapic have made this difficult-to-read Puritan accessible for the modern reader without sacrificing the wonderful content of Owens work. Redesigned with a new cover. Author Biography Known as the "theologians theologian," JOHN OWEN (1616-1683) was vice chancellor of Oxford University and served as advisor and chaplain to Oliver Cromwell. Among the most learned and active of the Puritans in seventeenth-century Europe, he was an erudite and accomplished theologian both in doctrine and practical theology. Kelly M. Kapic (PhD, Kings College, University of London) is professor of theological studies at Covenant College, where he has taught for over fifteen years. Kapic has written and edited over ten books, focusing on the areas of systematic, historical, and practical theology. Kapic has also published articles in various journals and books. Kapic and his wife, Tabitha, live on Lookout Mountain with their two children. Justin Taylor (PhD, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) is the executive vice president of book publishing and book publisher at Crossway. He has edited and contributed to several books including A God-Entranced Vision of All Things and Reclaiming the Center, and he blogs at Between Two Worlds-hosted by the Gospel Coalition. Promotional "The editors of this volume have worked hard to make Owens unrivalled insight into the Christians inner war with sin accessible to all, and the result is truly a godsend." -J. I. Packer, Board of Governors Professor of Theology, Regent College "To read Owen is to mine spiritual gold. Unfortunately, as in mining, reading Owen is hard work. Now, Kelly Kapic and Justin Taylor have made Owens work accessible to modern readers while still retaining his unique writing style." -Jerry Bridges, author, The Pursuit of Holiness "John Owens wisdom is the missing link in our cultures confusion about sexual sin. Kapic and Taylors matchless edition renders transparent the practical theology of one of the great Puritan thinkers, bringing Owen to accessible light without sacrificing theological integrity. I consistently use this book in womens studies and one-on-one discipling and counseling, especially with women who struggle with unwanted lesbian desires and pornography. Understanding that indwelling sin manipulates believers and how to deal with this is, sadly, the best kept secret in contemporary evangelical discourse on sin. Understanding sin rightly allows believers to glorify God with rugged love, as Owen shows us that repentance of sin is itself the threshold to our merciful God. Every believer should read this book." -Rosaria Butterfield, former professor of English, Syracuse University; author, The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert "With brilliant editorial efforts and insightful introductions by Kapic and Taylor, John Owens magnificent treatises on sin and sanctification have been made available for a new generation." -David S. Dockery, President, Trinity International University "Sin is tenacious, but by Gods grace we can hate it and hunt it. John Owen provides the master guide for the sin-hunter. Kapic and Taylor bring together three of Owens classics, clarifying them in simple ways-but all the substance, the careful, hounding arguments are still there." -Mark Dever, pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, DC; president, 9Marks "John Owen understood how the gospel makes us well. Three cheers for Kapic and Taylor for introducing a new generation to Owens peerless works." -Sinclair B. Ferguson, Professor of Systematic Theology, Redeemer Seminary, Dallas, Texas "John Owen is a spiritual surgeon with the rare skill to cut away the cancer of sin and bring gospel healing to the sinners soul. Apart from the Bible, I have found his writings to be the best books ever written to help me stop sinning the same old sins." -Philip Graham Ryken, President, Wheaton College; author, Loving the Way Jesus Loves "No writer has taught me more about the dynamics of the heart and the deceitfulness of sin than John Owen. Read this book carefully; it will help you understand your heart and experience Gods grace." -C. J. Mahaney, Senior Pastor, Sovereign Grace Church of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky Long Description John Owens writings, though challenging, are full of rich spiritual insights. In this unabridged volume, editors Justin Taylor and Kelly Kapic have edited three of Owens classic works--Of the Mortification of Sin in Believers, Of Temptation: The Nature and Power of It, and The Nature, Power, Deceit, and Prevalency of Indwelling Sin. They have updated the authors language, translated the Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, and footnoted difficult or unknown phrases, all without sacrificing any of Owens original message. These three treatises on temptation, sin, and repentance are theologically robust and insightful while also being accessible to modern readers. Overcoming Sin and Temptation will help a new generation benefit from the writings of this remarkable Puritan. Now redesigned with a new cover.
