The Complete Duty Of Man: or A System Of Doctrinal & Practical Christianity To Which Are Added Forms Of Prayer & Offices Of Devotion For The Various Circumstances Of Life
By Henry Venn
Printed for J. Ogle, M. Ogle: Glasgow 1812

" The Complete Duty of Man by Henry Venn, first published in 1763, is a practical and devotional guide to Christian living, intended to instruct readers in their moral and spiritual responsibilities. Written as a response to what Venn saw as a decline in true religious understanding and practice, the book outlines a clear path to salvation rooted in personal repentance, faith in Jesus Christ, and obedience to God's commandments. Venn emphasizes the necessity of inner transformation through the Holy Spirit and a heartfelt commitment to living a godly life, making the book both a theological work and a manual for daily conduct.

Structured to be accessible to ordinary Christians, The Complete Duty of Man serves as a complement and corrective to the earlier anonymous devotional classic The Whole Duty of Man, which focused more on outward moral duties. Venn's version, however, stresses the need for evangelical faith and a deep, personal relationship with Christ. As a key figure in the Evangelical revival within the Church of England, Venn's work reflects the movement's core principles and had a lasting influence on generations of Anglican believers, marking it as an important and historically significant religious text of the 18th century.
