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: there is more evil in the least sin than in the greatest affliction; sin and God are contrary to each other; sin is directly against our good; sin opposes all that is good; sin is the evil of all other evils; sin has infinite dimension and character; and sin makes us comfortable with the devil. This treatise is invaluable for sensitizing our consciences to the "exceeding sinfulness of sin" .
