The Works of Jonathan Edwards, Vol. 1 (With a Memoir By Sereno E. Dwight) [Hardcover]

Jonathan Edwards (Author), Edward Hickman (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1974

This volume concludes the series of private theological notebooks that Jonathan Edwards kept from his late teens to the end of his life. It covers the years from 1751 to 1758, a period during which he faced a variety of difficult challenges while working at the Stockbridge Indian mission and served a short-lived presidency at Princeton, then known as the College of New Jersey. In these entries Edwards grapples with modern naturalism, critiques "generous doctrines", and attempts to bolster Reformed thought in the face of the Enlightenment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing More Valuable to a Christian, January 2, 1998

This review is from: The Works of Jonathan Edwards, Vol. 1 (With a Memoir By Sereno E. Dwight) (Hardcover)

This is perhaps the most valuable set of books you will ever buy as a Christian. Jonathan Edwards' breathtaking analysis of the things of God will sweep you off of your feet. I have come to this set of books time and time again for insight, profound reflection, and personal renewal. I would challenge you to read the works of Jonathan Edwards, especially if you are an Arminian. Edwards presents the absolute sovereignty of God with impeccable clarity, logic and argument. If read in faith, you will never be the same. Be sure to get this Banner of Truth set, as the Yale set is far too costly.
