Mortification of Sin is John Owen's classic treatise on sanctification, expounding Paul's charge in Romans 8:13 with Puritan precision and pastoral urgency. Owen dissects the anatomy of indwelling sin, distinguishes counterfeit mortification from Spirit-wrought obedience, and prescribes a disciplined regimen grounded in union with Christ, the Word, prayer, and watchfulness. Written in tightly argued propositions and practical casuistry, it refuses both ascetic self-reliance and lax antinomianism, pressing the memorable axiom: "be killing sin, or sin will be killing you." An Independent divine and vice-chancellor of Oxford during the Interregnum, Owen (1616-1683) combined classical learning with relentless pastoral inquiry. Composed in the mid-1650s alongside companion essays on temptation and indwelling sin, this work arose from university sermons and counsel amid civil turmoil, sectarian excess, and moral weariness. Owen writes as a physician of souls shaped by Reformed scholastic method, personal affliction, and disputes with both legalists and libertines. Readers of theology, pastors, and serious laypeople will find in Mortification of Sin a bracing, deeply consoling manual for growth in holiness. It rewards slow, reflective study, offering diagnostics and remedies that remain startlingly contemporary for anyone intent on resisting sin by the Spirit.
