Synopsis

The Complete Duty Of Man: Or A System Of Doctrinal And Practical Christianity by Henry Venn. This 18th?century Anglican devotional treatise presents an evangelical, grace?centered Christianity grounded in Scripture and aimed at both lay readers and clergy seeking doctrinal clarity and practical holiness. It argues for Jesus as the complete deliverer from sin, the divinity and personal agency of the Holy Spirit in conviction, regeneration, and sanctification, and the necessity of true repentance rooted in godly sorrow, love for God, and reliance on Christ. The work contrasts genuine Christian dispositions toward God and toward others, defends the continuing work and authority of the Spirit, and emphasizes mercy, forgiveness, and steadfast obedience to Scripture. Its method moves from doctrine to duty, covering topics such as the nature of the soul, the character of God, the law, faith, repentance, the Spirit’s work, prayer, Scripture, and Christian joy, including extensive forms of prayer for families and private use. The tone is exhortatory and devotional, urging readers to examine faith and to cultivate joy, humility, and godliness through ongoing grace and Spirit?led transformation.
