| Résumé : |
Says Dr. Jewett in his Preface: “The basis of this treatise (the Biblical doctrine of indwelling sin) is Romans 7:21. ‘I find then a law that when I would do good, evil is present with me.’ The author discusses first the setting of the law, which is the heart, and then the nature of the law, which is enmity against God. He goes on at length to expound the deceitfulness of sin and to illustrate its beguiling ways, to demonstrate its power even in the lives of sincere Christians and to conclude that all endeavors to mortify sin in our members must be unavailing if assayed in our own strength…
“... the author probes the depths of the heart's darkest mystery, the propensity to evil, with a thoroughness hardly surpassed by a modern psychoanalyst. Unlike most psychoanalysts however, Owen weaves into his exposé of man’s sinful heart, the Scriptural antidote which is the principle of grace kept up in the believer by the Holy Ghost so that the law of sin in him does not become a law unto him; then true Christian does not, he cannot make a trade of sin” |
