Introduced by Maurice Roberts. Manton looks at the temptation Christ suffered from the devil in the wilderness and shows the origin and purpose of temptation. His classic study examines how Jesus can be God and yet be tempted. He also demonstrates how temptation exists both for our good and God's glory, how to combat it and the role we, and angels play in overcoming it. Today there is a proliferation of books on self-fulfilment, perhaps it is time for us to study and develop self denial.
