About This Book

A series of pulpit discourses dissects the natural, unregenerate heart and argues that earnest application of moral law is prerequisite to genuine spiritual awakening. The preacher analyzes practical unbelief, moral insensibility, and the need to render conscience conscious by exposing sin through clear, searching proclamation; he treats key biblical injunctions as primarily legal in function, contrasts juridical conviction with offers of grace, and outlines pastoral strategy that prepares sinners to perceive guilt, repent, and receive redemption.
