Harold Simonson has enhanced the First Edition of his popular collection of well-chosen essays, sermons, and other writings of Jonathan Edwards with additional works that effectively reveal his far-ranging perspectives in theology, ethics, psychology, and aesthetics. As a theologian Edwards stands alone; as a philosopher his peers include only Emerson and William James. Edwardss insights into the human condition penetrate to the deepest levels of literary artistry, holding his own with the likes of Hawthorne, Melville, Faulkner, Henry James, and Emily Dickinson. Todays readers will realize that Edwardss timeless vision maintains its relevance in the twenty-first century.
