Of Temptation

THIS small work of Dr. Owen on "Temptation" appeared in 1658. He had been urged to publish it by the solicitations of friends to whose opinion he paid deference. John Owen was essentially a pastoral theologian, and in his best writings, his pastoral concern and acute doctrinal instinct are inseparable. On Temptation, an exposition of Jesus€ words €˜Watch and pray, lest ye enter into temptation,€ describes the nature of entering into temptation, and offers valuable teaching on watching against it.
