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.
Jonathan Edwards On Beauty
In his devotional pursuit, Edwards found rich and perpetual food for his soul. This book captures the writings of Edwards on the beauty of God, creation, Christ, the church, and the Trinitarian afterlife. In doing so, Strachan and Sweeney draw out a Christian framework for understanding and experiencing the beauty God has planted in His world.
Edwards strove to bring his congregation into the realm where the clouds of this world lift and the glory of the risen Lord is all that is visible. May Jonathan Edwards on Beauty show Christ to be a Savior who takes your breath away at the sight of His beauty.
Jonathan Edwards On True Christianity
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. This book 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.
Jonathan Edwards On Heaven & Hell
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.
This book 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.
Jonathan Edwards On The Good Life
This book 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.
Jonathan Edwards Lover Of God
This book takes a close-up look at the life of Jonathan Edwards, from his days as a young child at home to his early death from a smallpox vaccination. It contains samplings of Edwards's philosophical contributions, his sermons, and his personal and theological musings, revealing his thoughts, mind, and heart.
Edwards wore many hats - philosopher, father, preacher, college president, theologian, husband - and yet, one of them stands out among them all: Edwards, lover of God.
