William Perkins (1558-1602) was a Calvinist minister and theologian who was one of the foremost leaders of the Puritan movement in the Church of England. His “Works” were originally published in three large volumes spanning thousands of pages. However, he wrote a number of individual treatises that are exceedingly biblical, spiritual and helpful for Christians today.

This work on man’s imaginations is taken from Genesis 8:21, “…For the imagination of man’s heart is evil even from his youth.” Not many years after the Synod of Dordt and the Arminian debate, Perkins penned this exposition that teaches total depravity in a practical framework. He covers the natural man’s thoughts and imaginations, and how those thoughts apply to God, his neighbor and himself. He then demonstrates the use of the doctrine that “God will have all or none of man’s heart,” and how that truth applies to all men in order to be reformed before God through Jesus Christ.
