Synopsis

You've heard his name, you've probably heard your pastor quote him, but who is he really?250 years later, Jonathan Edwards, America’s consummate pastor-theologian, continues to capture the attention of Christians around the world. Yet Edwards left us over 1,200 sermons and thousands of pages of other publications, not to mention the literal thousands of books that have been written about Edwards since he died. Where does one even begin? That’s why we created The Essential Jonathan Edwards. It serves as a perfect introduction to Edwards’s life and thought. It explores Edwards day-to-day life, and his views on beauty, true Christianity, heaven and hell, and the good life. Strachan and Sweeney strike the perfect balance between necessary background information and giving Edwards’s own works room to speak.Whether you’re an Edwards fan already or only know Edwards because of “that Angry God sermon,” this book will lead you to drink deeply of Scripture and gaze longingly at God.

Goodreads review by Russell on March 26, 2018

I have read several biographies on Edwards but this one stands out as unique for a few reasons. First the author takes time to speak to patterns in the life of Edwards that could and should be emulated by Christians seeking to live for Christ. It is not just that they told what he did in his life, b......more

[Note:  This book was provided free of charge by Moody Publishers/Net Gallery.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.] When I was in high school, a classmate who happened to be not only a friend of mine but also a fellow member of my congregation gave a very realistic reading of part of Jonathan Edwa......more
