Iain Murray believes that Edwards cannot be understood apart from his faith. Only when seen first and foremost as a Christian do his life and writings make sense. The integrity of this interpretation is confirmed in this study as Edwards is allowed on point after point to speak for himself.

The result is a biography which is both factually and theologically reliable. Edwards' theology is set in the context of his everyday life in public and private. His family realtionships punctuate the narrative, adding both interest and pathos. This outstanding study is not only an exceptional biography; it also serves as a classic illustration of how the chuch today can and should learn from its past history.

From the Publisher

More from Iain H. Murray

Iain Hamish Murray, born in Lancashire, England, in 1931, was educated at Wallasey Grammar School and King William s College in the Isle of Man (1945-49). He was converted in 1949 through the ministry at Hildenborough Hall, Tom and Jean Rees' Christian conference centre in Kent. It was at Hildenborough later that same year that he first met Jean Ann Walters, who was to become his wife (they married in Edgeware on April 23, 1955). After service with the Cameronians in Singapore and Malaya, he read Philosophy and History at the University of Durham with a view to the ministry of the English Presbyterian Church (his parents' denomination). It was at Durham that he began to read the Puritans, whose writings were to become a lifelong passion. After a year of private study, he assisted Sidney Norton at St John s Free Church, Oxford, in 1955 56, and it was here that The Banner of Truth magazine was launched, with Murray as its first editor. From 1956 he was for three years assistant to Dr Lloyd-Jones at Westminster Chapel and there, with the late Jack Cullum, founded the Banner of Truth Trust in 1957. He left Westminster in 1961 for a nine-year pastorate at Grove Chapel, Camberwell. With the world-wide expansion of the Trust, Iain Murray became engaged full-time in its ministry from 1969 until 1981 when he responded to a call from St Giles Presbyterian Church, Sydney, Australia. Now based again in the UK, he and Jean live in Edinburgh. He has written many titles published by the Trust, in whose work he remains active. He is still writing.

Great Look into the Life of a Great Man

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 17, 2010

Verified Purchase

Jonathan Edwards continues to be one of the most prominent figures in Anglo-American Christian history and Iain Murray presents a stirring, sensitive, and comprehensive evaluation of his life. Maybe (in my mind, definitely) one of the most exciting Christians to study, Jonathan Edwards' life is an inspiring example to all Christians across the globe. Murray captures Edwards' life of great achievement and heartache, and reveals the depth of thought that Edwards himself displayed throughout his life. This biography is thorough and very detail-oriented; Murray allows the reader to delve deep into Edwards' life and offers the opportunity to get acquainted with the entire family. Using letters that were passed throughout the Edwards family, Murray is able to convey a very doctrine-centered and eloquent biography that will edify its readers and inspire all Christians to strive "to be brought higher in religion, and to a higher exercise of grace than before."

This book has great personal sentiment, as well. Though I attribute its impact more to the actual life of Jonathan Edwards, this biography got a hold of my heart from the start. From the very first chapter I was introduced into a world of faith that I had never experienced; I was able to see and experience another's Christian life that has since altered my entire view of what it means to love and glorify God. I would recommend this book to any person who is looking for an example of what a Christian life--and a Christian family, for that matter--should look like. It is an eye-opening experience, one that is honest and reliable: Murray doesn't sugarcoat the difficulties that Edwards was blessed with. From Edwards' early education through the Great Awakening to his death as the President of the College of New Jersey (Princeton), I was blown away with how this man of God handled his entire life. Edwards is proof that an undivided concern for the Lord's glorification breathes true life into all things. All that being said, I can honestly say that I'm a better worshiper of God for having read this book.

I would definitely recommend this book to any person, especially Christians seeking to understand God through a lifestyle of faith. Biographies in general provide stirring examples of God's sovereign work. This book, though it might take a degree of interest in American history, has a universal audience as a result of Jonathan Edwards' universal theology.

Excellent Biography of a Great and Godly Man!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 4, 2003

Verified Purchase

I heartily concur with some of the other reviewers - Murray's book is the definitive biography of a godly man who was an important part of the Great Awakening.
The book is comprehensive, covering several areas of Edwards' life:
1. Early childhood and Christian influences.
2. His salvation experience.
3. His happy home as evidenced by the large number of children, loving relationship with his life, and hospitality to others.
4. Associations with David Brainherd, George Whitfield, and other religious leaders of his day.
5. His important contributions to the Great Awakening and the resultant opposition he experienced.
6. His expulsion from the Northampton Church based on his stance on the Lord's Supper.
7. Missionary endeavors to the Indians.
8. Later years and service at Princeton University.
Murray successfully portrays Edwards as a man who although reserved in some respects, was actually a very warm and caring man towards others.
As for the reviewer from France, I only have to say - God alone determines where He will move His Spirit! That is not our choice to make!
