Description: Although The Sinfulness of Sin was written three hundred years ago, it remains an oasis of truth in a desert of lies. First published in the aftermath of the Great Plague of London and entitled Sin, The Plague of Plagues, it gives a crystal-clear explanation of what sin is, why it is so serious, and what we need to do about it. Here is serious medicine for a fatal epidemic.

Monergism Review: The doctrine of sin is a doctrine that pervades every part of the bible from Genesis to Revelation, and helps to shape and define every other aspect of biblical teaching. Without an understanding of the utter sinfulness of sin, redemption is not so great, grace is not so mighty, salvation is not so sweet, the work of the God-man is not so powerful. The need for an exhaustive treatment on the biblical teaching of the horrific extent of sin is, therefore, an eminently needful and salutary thing; and thankfully, that need has already been admirably fulfilled in Ralph Venning's classic work, The Sinfulness of Sin.

Venning undertakes is a project most necessary for us today. And so vastly beneficial a theme could scarcely have been broached with a greater exhaustiveness, a more trembling tearfulness, a more earnest zeal, a more passionate pleading with men's souls, than Venning's work is characterized by. May God bring its pages into the hands of a great many more Christians, professing or genuine, and burn its truths into their hearts. I can think of almost no writing extant today that might with more reason be ardently commended to a modern audience than The Sinfulness of Sin, by Ralph Venning.
