D Monologia Sacra Or A Treatise Of Satan S Temptations

This is a classic Puritan work describing the devious and deceitful methods which Satan employs to ensnare believers. As Peter Lewis says in Genius of Puritanism (also published by SDG), the Puritans knew their worst enemy better than most people know their best friend. They took seriously the admonition that that we are not to be ignorant of his devices. Gilpin, a non-conformist, vicar of Greystoke in Cumberland, England, deals meticulously with the malice of Satan, the power of Satan, the knowledge of Satan, the cruelty of Satan, the diligence of Satan, the cunning and craftiness of Satan, the deceitfulness of Satan, and shows numerous ways that Satan uses to hinder and discourage believers. The importance of this knowledge cannot be overstated.

This Is A New Release Of The Original 1677 Edition.

Jesus Christ came to us to suffer temptation, to suffer our fate with regard to God, and to become our brother. Let us go to him in the desert to see what he had to endure, and how he had to fight, so as thus to become our brother. Here we shall learn who we are and how it stands with this our world....The desert is our world; the tempter is our tempter; the forty days and nights are our time, and we are Jesus, for here he stands in our stead. Who are we then, O God, who are we?
