Freedom from Sin’s Dominion (Owen) - Puritan Treasures for Today

NOTE: THIS PRODUCT IS A PRE-ORDER THAT IS EXPECTED TO SHIP ON June 2, 2025*

Description

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

The heart will be ruled by something. And we can be certain that sin’s purpose is not to merely tempt people but to reign over their hearts. Considering this, John Owen helps us understand what it means for sin to have dominion and discern whether it has such a mastery over us. More significantly, Owen points us to the power of grace to break sin’s dominion and set up a dominion of its own.

Read Owen and learn to distinguish the rebellion of sin from the dominion of sin.

First published as A Treatise of the Dominion of Sin and Grace (London 1688).

Series Description

Interest in the Puritans continues to grow, but many people find reading these giants of the faith a bit unnerving. This series seeks to overcome that barrier by presenting Puritan books that are convenient in size and unintimidating in length. Each book is carefully edited with modern readers in mind, smoothing out difficult language of a bygone era while retaining the meaning of the original authors. Books for the series are thoughtfully selected to provide some of the best counsel on important subjects that people continue to wrestle with today.
