The Essential Jonathan Edwards: An Introduction to the Life and Teaching of America's Greatest Theologian
3 Great Reasons to Buy from Us:
You've heard his name, you've probably heard your pastor quote him, but who is he really?250 years later, Jonathan Edwards, America?s consummate pastor-theologian, continues to capture the attention of Christians around the world. Yet Edwards left us over 1,200 sermons and thousands of pages of other publications, not to mention the literal thousands of books that have been written about Edwards since he died. Where does one even begin? That?s why we created The Essential Jonathan Edwards. It serves as a perfect introduction to Edwards?s life and thought. It explores Edwards day-to-day life, and his views on beauty, true Christianity, heaven and hell, and the good life. Strachan and Sweeney strike the perfect balance between necessary background information and giving Edwards?s own works room to speak. Whether you?re an Edwards fan already or only know Edwards because of ?that Angry God sermon,? this book will lead you to drink deeply of Scripture and gaze longingly at God. From the Back Cover Many know the name; few know the manJonathan Edwards can be hard to pin down. He was intelligent, yet warm; he preached graphic sermons on hell, yet wrote stirring essays on beauty; he was a product of his time, yet a reformer. In short, he was complicated, as most of us are. But in studying Edwards, you will discover something more valuable than biographical details. More than learning about the pivotal moments of his life, more than grasping the major themes of his thought, you will encounter God through the eyes of Jonathan Edwards. And in so doing you will find yourself adoring, worshipping, and delighting in a God who is bigger than you dared imagine and closer than you could have dreamed.
