The Evil of Evils - RT Edition by Jeremiah Burroughs and published by Reformation Trust.
The Evil of Evils, first printed in 1654, consists of sixty-seven short chapters that expose sin and urge believers to hate sin more than affliction. Burroughs organizes his material around seven major thoughts: (1) there is more evil in the least sin than in the greatest affliction; (2) sin and God are contrary to each other; (3) sin is directly against our good; (4) sin opposes all that is good; (5) sin is the evil of all other evils; (6) sin has infinite dimension and character; and (7) sin makes us comfortable with the devil. This treatise is invaluable for sensitizing our consciences to the "exceeding sinfulness of sin" (cf. Rom. 7:13).
