The Sinfulness of Sin
by Ralph Venning and James M. Rasbeary

Paperback Edition

First published in 1669, The Sinfulness of Sin is a powerful and piercing examination of sin’s true nature, written in the aftermath of the Great Plague of London. Ralph Venning, a Puritan preacher known for his clarity and conviction, confronts readers with the ugly truth about sin—not just as a violation of God’s law, but as a plague upon the soul, a rebellion against the very goodness of God.

Venning leaves no room for complacency, revealing how deeply sin corrupts every aspect of life, and urging believers to abhor it with the same intensity with which God abhors it. With vivid language, rich Scriptural references, and deep theological insight, this work remains a timeless call to holiness and repentance.

This edition includes:

• A historical introduction providing background on the author and the era

• Modern annotations to enhance understanding

• Personal contemplation prompts and group discussion questions

• Excerpts from Planted: A Guide for New Disciples by James Rasbeary

Perfect for discipleship groups, personal devotions, or anyone seeking to grow in spiritual maturity and godly fear, The Sinfulness of Sin is a sobering and soul-stirring classic that speaks with undiminished relevance to today’s churches.
