Knowing Sin

Seeing a Neglected Doctrine Through the Eyes of the Puritans

De: Mark Jones, Rosaria Butterfield - foreword

Narrado por: Robert Duncan

The first rule of combat is: know your enemy.

We don’t talk a lot about sin these days. But maybe we should. The Puritans sure did - because they understood sin’s deceptive power and wanted to root it out of their lives. Shouldn’t we want the same?

Though many books have been written on the “doctrine of sin”, few are as practical and applicable as this one. In Knowing Sin, Mark Jones puts his expertise in the Puritans to work by distilling the vast wisdom of our Christian forebears into a single volume that summarizes their thought on this vital subject. The result isn’t a theological tome to sit on your shelf and gather dust, but a surprisingly relevant book to keep on your audiobook player and refer to again and again. You’ll come to understand topics like:

• Sin’s origin
• Sin’s grief
• Sin’s thoughts
• Sin’s temptations
• Sin’s misery
• Sin’s secrecy
• And of course...sin's defeat!

None of us is free from the struggle with sin. The question isn’t whether we’re sinful; it’s what we’re doing about it. Thanks be to God, there is a path to overcoming sin. And the first step on that path to victory is knowing what we’re up against. Start Knowing Sin today!

A Modern Day Puritan Work

Jones writes as though he studied at the feet of the greatest of Puritan devines. Yet he speaks directly into our modern selves. Without a doubt one of the best reads. Food for the soul.

Exceptional!

Every believer should read this great book! I have now bought a paper copy!

Should be a required reading.

Really, this should be required reading for all Christians. This would’ve been a great first book for me to read or listen to on audible years ago. Next to the Bible this one should be pinched in the pile of first reads. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Truly enlightening!

A great overview of the doctrine of sin! I was extremely blessed by it. The narrator was very captivating as well.

Thorough yet understandable

One of the best studies on the doctrine of sin. An essential theology resource. Should be required reading in all discipleship classes.

Biblical education from Gods Word

A important read for all Christians. It was recommended by podcasters and influencers and it delivers sound doctrine in an easy straightforward way. Lots of scriptural references continually to reflect on.

Insightful

This book brought the things I have learned over the years about sin into real life for me. I have lived in fear of judgment and understanding that God is loving. Living by these foundational principles I can make God proud.

False teaching on sin.

Begins to reference source but then abandons to make a point. So the point is not supported by source. Also boring.
