John Owen's writings, though challenging, are full of rich spiritual insights. In this unabridged volume, editors Justin Taylor and Kelly Kapic have made updates to the author's language, translated the Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, and footnoted difficult or unknown phrases, all without sacrificing any of Owen's 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.

In setting forth this interpetation of our Lord's temptation in the wilderness, the writer's aim and method are very simple. The aim is, so to read and use every indication in the Gospel narratives, that the plain facts of them shall meet the reader's imagination, and be readily related with his experience. The method of this interpretation is nothing else than the keeping in view of this double significance: that of the facts, on the one hand, which concern our Lord; and that of their narration, on the other hand, which sends them on to us. - Preface.
