Temptation, A Treatise On Satanic Influence by Samuel Ransom presents a thorough theological examination of temptation, arguing that there is a real, pervasive influence from Satan while also affirming human responsibility. Drawing on biblical narratives from Eve to Job, to Jesus, Peter, Judas, Ananias and Sapphira, Paul, and others, the work surveys the existence, mode, and aims of temptation, including why it can be invisible and how personal consent factors into sin. The author identifies Satan as a highly knowledgeable and cunning tempter endowed with power, vigilance, and malice, yet he insists that God’s permission of temptation serves purposes of moral governance, growth, and glory. The text then outlines how believers may resist temptation through self-knowledge, Scripture, prayer, and reliance on Christ’s intercession, culminating in triumph over temptation by grace and perseverance. The book also discusses temptations peculiar to the godly, the role of circumstances and afflictions, and the reconciled goodness of God in permitting temptation. It was originally published in 1837 by Thomas Ward & Co.
