Though sometimes presented as a condemning, hardboiled parson, Edward's writings show that he was devoted to the cultivation of true and saving faith in spiritually fickle people. Jonathan Edwards on True Christianity lays out the spiritual context of Edward's day and the actions he took in an effort to compel his church members to leave lukewarm Christianity behind.

Today, in a society rapidly disconnecting from Christian moral and theological thinking, we find ourselves in a situation not unlike that of Edward's day. May we discover how we can respond to our present situation and stand for true Christianity in this fallen world.

Few others in history have wedded theology and practice like Jonathan Edwards. Unmatched in intellect, unparalleled in his grasp of the Bible and his conceptualization of theology. Edwards stands as the preeminent theologian, and perhaps the preeminent thinker, of the American tradition.
Thus, it is the purpose of The Essential Edwards Collection to bring the thought of Edwards, in all its heat and light, to the people of God. To what end? That we might drink deeply from the Scriptures as illuminated by America's consummate pastor-theologian - and in doing so, bring great glory to God.
