Jonathan Edwards On The Good Life explores the dimensions of life as God desires. Using Edwards as a guide, Strachan and Sweeney engage such topics as God's original design for mankind, the effects of sin, the transformation of conversion, the blessings of the Christian life, and the way God's commandments lead us to savor and experience the love of God.
God wants to give not a trickle of blessing mixed with tons of rules, but a flood of happiness that pours into our hearts and minds. God, in sum, has made us to be happy above all. May we give Him the opportunity to do so.
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.
