Knowing Sin by Mark Jones

 

Not much is written or spoken about sin today. The author, Puritan scholar Mark Jones, takes a look at how the Puritans understood and spoke about the power of sin and its effects.

These thoughts of the Puritans are summarized in a number of topics including the origin of sin,  temptations of sin, contagion of sin, vocabulary of sin, sorrow of sin, secrecy of sin, and manipulation of sin to name a few. No one is without sin. It affects us all. The question is not whether we struggle with sin, but rather what are we doing about sin.  The path to overcoming sin begins with knowing about sin itself and then finding the path to victory over sin with the help of God.   

This book is for anyone interested in the doctrine of sin and how the Puritans viewed sin. I received this book from Moody Publishers in exchange for this honest review.
