Synopsis

While the idea that God created the world for His glory may seem obvious to some and perhaps confusing to others, Jonathan Edwards describes this beautiful premise with Scriptural evidence and in a completely revelatory way. In detailing not only the nature of God, but also of creation, humans, and individual will, Edwards shows that God’s purpose of bringing Himself glory works also, ultimately, for the fulfillment of all creation’s joy. A spiritual journey that will encourage deep thinking and proclamations of gratitude to the Creator, Edwards timeless work continues to change lives and encourage followers of Christ.

I can’t help feeling somewhat self-conscious attempting a review of this book (“dissertation”). Edwards is frequently touted as the greatest American theologian. My adding to the chorus of agreement that his reputation is well-deserved seems a tad presumptuous. Be that as it may, I also agree that E......more

Goodreads review by Nick on June 21, 2024

This book is very "big God" theology. Edwards proves through reason and through Scripture that God created the world of His own glory.
