5.0 out of 5 stars A Soul Stirring Biography, May 8, 2003

By	Jacob Aitken (Pineville, LA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Jonathan Edwards-A New Biography (Paperback) (Paperback)

Jonathan Edwards is maybe the most exciting historical Christian to study (except for Luther. Part of this explanation is the fact that history shows us a much differnt picture than the modern stereotypes show us. Murray is to be commended for his standard setting work on Edwards. Murray is very warm and doctrine centered. As periodical "Christian History" said of Murray's work, "this is the biography Edwards himself would have most appreciated." (Spring 2003).

Final Analysis

This book is long, complex, and well researched. It is not bed time reading, but rather, Sabbath reading as it will stir one's thoughts to the Lord. Murray pulls no punches as he shows his view of Edwards: This man saw more of the glory of heaven and the terror of hell than any modern Christian ever will. Murray's aim is that after reading, Christians will then take up Edward's works and discover the glory for themselves.

4.0 out of 5 stars Iain Murry Is a Great Defender of Jonathan Edwards, March 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Jonathan Edwards-A New Biography (Paperback) (Paperback)

Murray did a wonderful job of disputing some of the authors of previous works who painted Edwards as a mere doomsayer. He instead provides documentation and accounts of godly men of that time to show the true Jonathan Edwards as one of the greatest theological minds in history. This book helped me to understand the importance of drawing on the works of such great men of God for practical application for the lives of today's Christians.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Standard, March 14, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Jonathan Edwards-A New Biography (Paperback) (Paperback)

Mark Noll said it well -- this is the only biography in which Edwards would recognize himself. Lets Edwards be Edwards. This will be THE classic Edwards biography for generations to come.
