The church in Jonathan Edward's day faced a temptation - losing its grasp on heaven and hell. To this church Edwards preached the likes of his most well-known sermon, Sinners In the Hands Of An Angry God. Edwards was not a killjoy - then why? He loved his people deeply and wanted them to avoid wrath and taste eternal life.

Jonathan Edwards on Heaven & Hell presents Edwards's material on the reality of the afterlife, the terror of hell, the glories of heaven, and the shape life must take in light of these truths.

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.
