A Must Read; How God Relates To Us Apart From Christ
Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God is the text of a sermon that Edwards preached to his congregation. I know of no author/preacher who is more consistently captivated by God's glory in his grace and love towards sinners, especially as manifested in the eternal joy in Him of heaven. But Edwards was also poignantly aware of the reality of hell. Hell is what we all deserve; God's eternal and infinite wrath is what we would be experiencing now and should experience for eternity if it were not in God's good pleasure to restrain Himself. God's glory in salvation and grace is made all the more glorious when his perfect and righteous wrath are manifested toward the vessels prepared for destruction. Edwards calls all hearers to recognize their powerlessness in the face of this God who is justly wrath-filled against them. Either rest secure in your position in Christ, where Christ has already absorbed this wrath and given us his righteousness securing eternity in heaven. Or be very afraid, be convicted by sin when you see just how horrible it is that a perfect God would punish it so, repent/turn, and trust in God to cleanse you from that sin, both its guilt and its power. This is an excellent sermon that I had not read in quite some time and am resolved to return to regularly. No matter who you are, you must know of the true God, both his justice and mercy.

Great book- slow arrival
The book is great.Came in great condition.It took about a week longer than I thought it would to arrive however.

Just what it is, a collection.
An excellent anthology of Edwards' sermons, although by no means complete.This is a 5-star reading. ... Read more

One cannot really understand the Grace of God until one understands His Holiness.
The sermons are amazing. His skill in thinking theologically is unsurpassed. He really drives home God's holiness and God's wrath. How God would totally justified in wiping us all out, but by His grace even now the wicked live and breathe. He is a Calvinist, but he pleads to sinners to repent now. He doesn't explain the mysteries of the faith, but what He does explain is God's delight in Christians and God's wrath for the unbelievers. Salvation is not only salvation from Hell, but an eternity with Him who created us and with Him who delights in us. God has put a new heart in us so can have delight in Him.

Edwards does not believe in tepid Christianity. He believes in believers who need to pursue God with every fiber of their being. Christians love God. If you don't love God and and pursue Him, you might want to examine your faith.

Jonathan Edwards gets it right everytime!!
Jonathan Edwards gets it right in all of his sermons because his is a message that keeps the Cross and Christ at the center and heart of his teaching.Self-focused and self-centered teachings seemed to be drawing large crowd these days because people want to be told how great they are and how much God wants to bless them.
No other writer has so exalted the Glory of God in his writings (with the exception of John Piper) better than Edwards. He is not perfect but his writing seem like it because his writings are strictly bible based and sound doctrine.
He deals with the depravity of man because of the sin of Adam, then offers the solution of redemption by faith in Jesus our Savior. The message of the Cross is central to the Gospel but it has nearly been replaced with another gospel of prosperity and materialism. People don't study their Bibles but depend on someone else spoon-feeding them the word. Many are not getting meat but are malnourished for the cheese and crackers they are being fed.This is why the writings of Charles Spurgeon and Jonathan Edwards are needed now more than ever. You must overcome the urge to not read Edwards because he owned slaves or was a flawed man. Christ died for the worst of us and don't confuse the message with the messenger. The Bible is still true even if the messenger is not so perfect!

Outstanding Sermons
A lot of great lessons on God's relationship to Man. He has kept God central in his writtings and there is a lot of valuable theological ideas in this book that I think would benefit students of the Scriptures on such as the importance of the role of repentance in Salvation; how God manifests first of all man's sinfulness and guilt before he is shown mercy and grace. Thus making the gospel, turly good news! Highly Christ exalting material in this book. People don't write materials with this kind of caliber anymore- or so it seems. ... Read more

Product Description
First published in 1834, this massive volume (over 8 Megabytes, as big as a dozen novels) has links from the table of contents to make it easy for you to get to the part you want to read.According to Wikipedia: "Jonathan Edwards (October 5, 1703 – March 22, 1758) was a colonial American Congregational preacher, theologian, and missionary to Native Americans. Edwards "is widely acknowledged to be America's most important and original philosophical theologian". His work is very broad in scope, but he is often associated with his defense of Calvinist theology, the metaphysics of theological determinism, and the Puritan heritage. His famous sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," emphasized the just wrath of God against sin and contrasted it with the provision of God for salvation; the intensity of his preaching sometimes resulted in members of the audience fainting, swooning, and other more obtrusive reactions. The swooning and other behaviors in his audience caught him up in a controversy over "bodily effects" of the Holy Spirit's presence." ... Read more

Partial Works from North America's Greatest Theologian
In the history of North American no mind shone brighter, no spirit flew higher, and no fallible soul ever desired to glorify God more than Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758). And here, "The Works of Jonathan Edwards, volume 1 of 2: Kindle" is a colossal offering (eight plus megabytes) from the impressive works by America's greatest theologian. This volume is expansive in range, biblical in approach from one of the last preachers to advocate the admirable Puritan tradition before the Revolution. Sermons, treatises, and essential works from Edwards are contained within.

At 12 years of age he entered Yale College graduated with the highest honors of his class; an important aspect of his study was a focus in school was the study of Locke on the Human Understanding. After he graduated he ministered at the Congregational Church at Northampton. As a youthful preacher Edwards was renowned for his substantial thought and effective preaching as he deeply touched many of his listeners.He (along with George Whitefield) was mightily used to help birth the Great Awakening. Edwards did not endorse the wild emotionalism/enthusiasms often attending the fervent revivals as he aimed to glorify God. Later he was released by his church (1750) for advocating that only practicing Christians can receive the sacraments.

Edwards observes: "Grace is but glory begun, and glory is but grace perfected."

Famous works include:

- Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God (Boston, 1741)
- Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God
- Some Thoughts concerning the Present Revival of Religion in New England
- A Treatise concerning Religious Affections (1746).

Edwards muses: "Can the believing husband in Heaven be happy with his unbelieving wife in Hell? Can the believing father in Heaven be happy with his unbelieving children in Hell? Can the loving wife in Heaven be happy with her unbelieving husband in Hell? I tell"

A number of Edwards Resolutions:
1. Resolved, that I will do whatsoever I think to be most to God's glory, and my own good, profit and pleasure, in the whole of my duration, without any consideration of the time, whether now, or never so many myriad's of ages hence. Resolved to do whatever I think to be my duty and most for the good and advantage of mankind in general. Resolved to do this, whatever difficulties I meet with, how many and how great soever.
2. Resolved, to be continually endeavoring to find out some new invention and contrivance to promote the aforementioned things.
3. Resolved, if ever I shall fall and grow dull, so as to neglect to keep any part of these Resolutions, to repent of all I can remember, when I come to myself again.
4. Resolved, never to do any manner of thing, whether in soul or body, less or more, but what tends to the glory of God; nor be, nor suffer it, if I can avoid it.
5. Resolved, never to lose one moment of time; but improve it the most profitable way I possibly can.
6. Resolved, to live with all my might, while I do live.
7. Resolved, never to do anything, which I should be afraid to do, if it were the last hour of my life.
8. Resolved, to act, in all respects, both speaking and doing, as if nobody had been so vile as I, and as if I had committed the same sins, or had the same infirmities or failings as others; and that I will let the knowledge of their failings promote nothing but shame in myself, and prove only an occasion of my confessing my own sins and misery to God.
Edwards the apologist opines: "I assert that nothing ever comes to pass without a cause."

There are over 60 more of these sanctifying maxims that Edwards applied to his life in Christ. He was a great preacher, a commanding revivalist, an exceptional philosopher, and a true legend who desired to serve and love the one true God.

The Final Word
Jonathan Edwards penned "Religious Affections" in a day much like our own. Battle lines were drawn over religion of the heart and religion of the head. Edwards, the consummate scholar, but his biblical mind and spiritual heart fully into the task of explaining the scriptural, theological, and practical truth of the nature of spiritual conversion and spiritual growth.

Unlike many Christian scholars today, Edwards recognized the age-old (Old Testament, New Testament, and Church History) truth/tradition of the affections. He saw them as the relational motivation that impelled the soul. Further, he saw the affections, or our longings, desires, and thirsts, as God-created/designed core components of the healthy human personality.

He then traced the relationship between the affections, our cognitions, our volition, and our emotions. Brilliantly he demonstrated that we pursue (volition) what we perceive (cognition) to be pleasant (affections) and pleasing (emotions). In other words, the "action" is in the affections. Capture the affections through the imagination (the deepest aspects of our cognitive capacity) and you capture the soul.

To understand the biblical psychology of the soul, other than the Bible itself, this is THE book to devour.

Reviewer: Bob Kellemen, Ph.D., is the author of "Soul Physicians," "Spiritual Friends," and the forthcoming "Beyond the Suffering: The Story of African American Soul Care and Spiritual Direction."

A M U S T R E A D !
I'm a minister of music at an evangelical church.Almost every week, I have the conversation with someone "what are the role of emotions in our services and in the Christian's life in general?" (Nobody really asks it THAT way, but you get the idea.)

I've come to the point where I won't even begin the conversation without having them read this book.Seriously!Edwards covers ALL the issues in a thurough and practical way.

Strap on your thinking cap, but know it's worth it!I read this book every year and God never fails in using it to refocus my heart on Him.

Defines the term "spiritual classic"
Houston's abridgement and editing have led to this one effect among others:Reading the book itself becomes a spiritual experience.We become examined, humbled, then excited and inspired.These are the questions Edwards' explores:What are the roles of the affections (i.e., emotions) for a Christian?How do we know they are genuinely from God's grace? In answering this he points to the beauty of God's holiness itself--a concept rarely seen in Protestant literature and rarely seen at all between the Middle Ages and von Balthasar. Another important concept is that the presence of the Holy Spirit within a believer provides a "new sense" to add to the 5 senses.Edwards' elucidation of the scripture's view on the affections/emotions is worth the price of the book alone.

Jonathan Edwards's "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God": A Casebook
This book will take you on an archaeological dig of America's most famous sermon, Jonathan Edwards's "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God."The sermon is anthologized in just about every textbook of American literature or American history assigned in high school and college.As a result, this sermon is likely the most read sermon ever preached in America of all time.

This sermon is also often misunderstood or used merely to paint Edwards as the consummate purveyor of hellfire and brimstone, a mean-spirited prophet of gloom and doom.You owe it to yourself, though, to take a deeper look at Edwards and his sermon.And this book will do that for you.This is ideal for high school and college teachers and students who care about understanding what they are teaching and reading.The original context and the deep layers of the sermon's life in American culture over the centuries are unfolded with precision and care, resulting in an ideal text for classroom use.

The book is also ideal for fans of Edwards and the sermon.Thanks to the authors/editors for giving is this book.Bottom line:If you want to understand Edwards and his famous sermon, this is the book.

Highly recommended.

A Masterful, Excellent, and Ideal Teaching Aid to Edwards' Most Famous Sermon
At long last, this masterful teaching aid is here. The editors have reproduced the definitive edition of this most famous Edwards sermon along with a host of study helps: an historical and literary introduction to "Sinners" (by Kimnach); a theological primer on the themes within the sermon (by Maskell); a dozen companion texts by Edwards himself that place it in context; five contemporary documents that testify to the power of the sermon and/or the revivals of the so-called Great Awakening; and sixteen interpretations of Edwards and his doctrine, including fascinating comments by a wide array of readers, both friends and foes alike, such as Harriet Beecher Stowe, Mark Twain, Robert Lowell, Perry Miller, Billy Graham, and Marilyn Robinson. Appended to the book are a brief chronology of Edwards' life, a glossary of names and terms, discussion questions, web resources, a handy bibliography, and even a list of audio productions of the sermon.

This is an ideal teaching tool. I recommend it strongly for high school teachers, home schoolers, Sunday school teachers, and college professors-at Christian or secular schools-anyone who wants to teach "Sinners" with excellence, helping students understand what Edwards was actually trying to do by preaching this frightening, classic, and spiritually powerful sermon.

Can anyone remember the biblical text on which it was based (without checking!)? How about the alternate text for the sermon in the Psalms?

-By Douglas Sweeney, Director of the JEC at TEDS

Fascinating and accessible
The authors have provided a fascinating, accessible, insightful study of America's most famous sermon, and in addition traced its reception over the next two centuries.By itself this book is a diachronic probe deep into America's religious past, using one of its most provocative events to measure the evolution of her religious mind over its most important two centuries.

A Must-Have Resource
For those desiring a succinct, yet penetrating introduction to Jonathan Edwards, Wilson H. Kimnach, Caleb J.D. Maskell, and Kenneth P. Minkema have produced an eminently helpful volume which utilizes "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" as an entry point to the worldview of Jonathan Edwards. The casebook begins with an introduction by Maskell and Minkema who provide a brief overview of "Sinners," its history, and why itremains important reading 250 years later. Maskell notes a chief reason for reading the sermon is that "it evokes a worldview, a vision of reality that Edwards held and of which he seeks to remind his hearers" . . . a vision which continues to resonate, though faintly, with many Evangelicals today.

Following the Introduction, William Kimnach examines the religious history of the sermon, its structure, and Edwards's goal of making the unconverted hearers realize their "life in a divine context," and see themselves as God sees them (sinners in danger of Omnipotent wrath), hopefully enabling them to experience a "new sense of the heart" and spiritual rebirth. Kimnach notes the rise ofsuch awakening sermons as an attempt to combat the spiritual decline in Puritan church congregations. "Sinners" was a calculated production in which Edwards drew upon not only an established tradition of awakenings or "harvests," but also a Lockean sensational psychology that Edwards utilized to "uproot" the minds of the unconverted in order to expose them to the converting power of God.

Caleb Maskell then examines the theological concepts present within "Sinners" which are core to Edwards's vast corpus. Though common currency in Edwards's day, the theological vocabulary referring to sin, God's wrath and mercy, hell, etc. are all but lost upon 21st century ears. Maskell serves the reader well by mapping out the ideas central to Edwards's theological enterprise, and then concludes by examining the reasons why he preached "this ferocious sermon."

Following these essays is the authoritative text of "Sinners" along with selections from a variety of Edwards's writings chosen to further illuminate his vision of the world. These selections include a cross-section of philosophy, reflection upon revival, sermon, theological treatise, and personal correspondence.

The casebook also provides the reader with selections from contemporary documents which give an additional lens through which Edwards's ministry and context may be examined, including an eyewitness account of the preaching of "Sinners." The final section surveys various interpretations of Edwards and his sermon over the past two hundred years, beginning with the sympathetic perspectives of the New Divinity minister and historian, Benjamin Trumbull (1735-1820), and Joseph Tracy, author of "The Great Awakening" (1842). Among other less enthusiastic interpreters are Harriet Beecher Stowe who assessed Edwards's sermons as "refined poetry of torture," and Mark Twain who viewed Edwards as "a resplendent intellect gone mad." Yet, Theodore Roosevelt recommended Edwards as a model of manliness, Perry Miller denoted him as a man ahead of our time, and Billy Graham preached "Sinners" in hopes of birthing a new Awakening.

The "Sinners" casebook concludes with a chronology of Edwards's life, a glossary of significant names and terms, along with teaching resources and suggested readings. "Jonathan Edwards's Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God: A Casebook" will be a significant help to the reader or teacher looking for a sure way to begin navigating the ocean of Edwards's theology. ...

Internal security
Jonathan Edwards does not provide for an easy read. I feel reading another group of sermons provided by Jonathan Edwards would be time better spent. In these sermons Jonathan Edwards tries to make the argument that a Christian needs to strive for a closer walk with God. My problem is that he does not remember the believer may be saved and sanctified, but not yet in his more perfect form as he will when he is in heaven. I agree to be saved one most accept Jesus as both Savior and Lord. If one does not believe in the Lord part, what does one to be saved from. This would ultimately mean a change of thought and behavior of the repented.But what is to made out of the behavior of the believer that is contrary to Gods will?

Sermons Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God
Justice of God in the Damnation

These two sermons bring out argument and thought that is lacking in today's pulpit. About man's unregenerate state and his deserving of Hell. He also has one sermon arguing how Christians follow Paul's example and another sermons to how the Christian is to follow Jesus example. Useful sermons indeed. The three Sermons I question are:

(1)Pressing into the Kingdom of God
(2)The Manner in which the Salvation of the Soul is to be sought
(3)Hypocrites deficient in the duty of Prayer

These sermons seem to works oriented.

The two most interesting Sermons are the eulogy of David Brainard titled True Saints, When absent From the Body Present With The Lord and a farewell sermon when he departed from North Hampton Church. In these two sermons are arguments for what a minister should be and how the local body of Christ is to be made up of repentant sinners.

To bad he does not leave room for failure in the Christian walk. ... Read more

Product Description

"Useful men are some of the greatest blessings of a people. Tohave many such is more for a people's happiness than almostanything, unless it be God's own gracious, spiritual presenceamongst them; they are precious gifts of heaven."

Certainly one of the most useful men in evangelical history wasthe man who preached those words, pastor and theologian JonathanEdwards. Commemorating his 300th birthday, general editors JohnPiper and Justin Taylor chose ten essays that highlight differentaspects of Edwards's life and legacy and show how his teachings arejust as relevant today as they were three centuries ago.

Even within the church, many people know little more aboutEdwards than what is printed in American history textbooks-mostoften, excerpts from his best-known sermon, "Sinners in the Handsof an Angry God." They unjustly envision Edwards preaching onlyfire and brimstone to frightened listeners. But he knew andpreached God's heaven as much as Satan's hell. He was a humble andjoyful servant, striving to glorify God in his personal life andpublic ministry.

This book's contributors investigate the character and teachingsof the man who preached from a deep concern for the unsaved and apassionate desire for God. Studying the life and works of thisdynamic Great Awakening figure will rouse slumbering Christians,prompting them to view the world through Edwards's God-centeredlens.

Good book but Shocked that Edwards owned people (slaves)
How could I have missed the fact that one of my favorite Authors, Jonathan Edwards owned slaves as revealed in this book! I highly commend the African American writer, Sherard Burns, who wrote the Chapter in this book titled,"Trusting the Theology of a Slave Owner", Burns deals head on in this oneChapter devoted to a little known fact on this aspect in the life of this great Christian writer and Theologian. Burns could not have handled this defect in Edwards character with any more delicacy & skill. He is to be commended for it. Not many people could have pulled that off, especially knowing how much damage the evils of slavery caused for Burns own African American ancestors. Burns wrote delicately but truthfully. He did not lash out attacks on Jonathan Edwards and make it personal but it is clear that Burns acknowledged Edwards as an imperfect, flawed man (as all human beings are because of the fall of Adam), but with a great teaching gift.The writer successfully walked a tight rope of wisdom and grace toward Edwards without excusing his behavior.In doing this, Burns shows himself to be a wise an equally great writer.

I'm shocked that someone that could write such beautiful Spirit-filled sermons could own slaves and defend it.He was not even close to understanding the evils of Slavery and the Slave Trade. Nor was he like my other hero, William Wilberforce, a wealthy distinguished Member of the British Parliament who fought to end Slavery. It is such a puzzle that a man who so passionately promoted the "Glory ofGod" could own people made in the image of God.
Paul the Apostle in his letter to Philemon, pleaded the cause of a runaway slave in a one page letter in the New Testament portion of the Bible (between Titus & Hebrew). This gives us a glimpse into the Apostle Paul's feelings on slavery. No other Author, not even Edwards has done so much in Christianity and written more of the text of the New Testament than Paul, Apostle to the Gentiles.Paul urged Philemon to remember to treat this renegade slave well. He went on to remind the Slave Master that he was also a slave to God, his heavenly Master.
It is not that Paul was pro-slavery in sending the slave back to his Master but Paul wanted both of them to learn forgiveness and the proper way to relate to each other. Paul urged the Slave Master, Philemon, his dear friend that he led to faith in Jesus, to treat this renegade slave, Onesimus, as a beloved brother in Christ, not like a Slave. Much further into his letter, Paul takes special liberties to remind the Slave master that it was he (Paul) who was responsible for the Slave master friend coming to faith in Christ. Paul then uses this fact to cleverly entreat Philemon to even give Onesimus, his freedom. This letter from Paul was as anti-slavery as it gets, for all of you who feel Paul endorsed slavery, read this letter.
When reading Jonathan Edwards sermons they are still brilliant, just don't confuse the message with the messenger. His words are still heavily bible based!

Man is created to glorify God.
Man's first duty and ultimate purpose is not himself but God. Man has an obligation to serve God. God only has an obligation to himself and His personality. Man does not exist to make himself prosper or to be content. God has no obligation to bring me or anyone else happiness or prosperity. The saints are to gather to worship God, the saints should be instructed about God, the saints should praise and worship God, all songs song by the saints should bring glory to God, the saints should read God's word to know God's will, and the saints should gather together to fellowship together: All thing to glorify God- not to bring contentment to the individual or to exhilarate euphoria to the individual or the body of Christ. The joy of the Lord comes to his His followers when they seek God's will, but in no way the prime directive to those who are in Christ.

What is the God entranced vision of Jonathan Edwards: A man who surely was a follower of Christ? He also was a theologian, philosopher scholar, and a pastor of a church in the 18th century: A man who truly followed God with both his heart and his head. This book examines the life of Jonathan Edwards. Eleven people contributed to the ten chapters and two appendixes in this work. The first chapter of this work written by John Piper establishes the theme of this work that Jonathan Edwards and his ministry was God centered. The first appendix of this work is a sermon given by John Piper that follows in the footprints of Jonathan Edwards.

Stephen J. Nichols writes the conventional event oriented chapter about the great theologian Jonathan Edwards. Noel Piper, Sherand Burns, and Mark Dever wrote about aspects of Jonathan Edwards' life. J.I. Packer and Donald S. Whitney cover more the thought process of the theologian, Pastor and Philosopher.Paul Helm, Sam Storms, and Mark L. Talbot examine the three major works written by Jonathan Edwards. Those major works are Original Sin, Freedom of the Will, and Religious Affections.

J.L. Packer wrote about focus Christian Religion. Pastor Edwards referred as just religion. The Christian life starts with regeneration, repentance, and assured faith and hope in Jesus Christ. One cannot and will not accept God's authority without regeneration. Without acceptance of God's word an individual will not repent for his rebellion to God. Assured faith and hope in Christ is a benefit to the believer, but the ultimate end is to glorify God. The same can be said about a revival. Revival of an individual main ultimate purpose is to glorify God. The same is true when multitudes of individuals are revived.

Douglas Whitney covered the discipline the discipline of religious practice. All practices are not good. Not all good practices are not Biblical practices. The practices are not ends to themselves. The practices are ways to serve God or instruments to live a life of sufficient godliness. The practices are Bible intake, prayer, private worship, solitude, fasting, journal keeping and the stewardship of time.

Noel Piper writes about the home life of both Edwards: Sarah and Jonathan. Also is the courtship of these two. This chapter ignores that the Edwards had three slaves to aid in her home front. Anyway Husband Edwards left the domestic chores to his wife who 13 children and often counseled future pastors who stayed for a brief periods to be mentor by the Pastor Edwards.

Sherand Burns's chapter discusses the incongruity of this great theologian and the owner of slaves. Jonathan Edwards even defended another pastor who was fired because he used slaves in his household.So he not only had slaves himself but publicly defended the practice.

Mark Dever's chapter covers the half-way controversy. This chapter is totally sympathetic to Edwards. No word critical of Edwards for not bringing up the issue earlier in the Pastorate at Northampton of Jonathan Edward. Dever's focus is how the Pastor should risk being dismissed so the church stays consistent with God's teaching and God's will.

Gain a deeper understanding of and appreciation for Edwards
A great concept for a book - ten different people writing about various facets of the life and legacy of Jonathan Edwards.I especially enjoyed the chapter that dealt with Jonathan's amazing wife Sarah as well as the chapter that wrestled with accepting the theology of a slave owner (yes, Jonathan Edwards did own slaves).The chapters were all written by individuals with a great appreciation for Edwards, his theology, his life, work and legacy, so reading it was a real joy...but not an easy task.Part Three of the book examined some of the theological issues best attributed to the work of Edwards, a Puritan and strict Calvinist whose writings on original sin, the freedom of the will and religious affections are still read and discussed today.The authors of this book pointed out various challenges to Edwardian theology and did an excellent job of communicating what Edwards wrote and taught without overshadowing it with their own opinions.

The book is great for any reader wanting to know more about Jonathan Edwards and although it isn't an easy book to read, it is worth the effort for someone wanting to either gain an appreciation for this man and his legacy or deepen their understanding of what he taught and the role he played at such a critical time in American history.Students of early American history should have a familiarity with Jonathan Edwards and this is a great book to move from acquaintance to appreciation.

Historical Theology/Biography with Plenty of Application!
A God Entranced Vision of All Things is a wonderful look at the legacy and relevance of Jonathan Edwards life and teachings.John Piper and Justin Taylor have assembled (and also contributed to) a remarkable series of essays on the different aspects of Edwards' legacy.As the back of the book declares:"This book's contributors investigate the character and teachings of the man who preached from a deep concern for the unsaved and a passionate desire for God.Studying the life and works of this dynamic Great Awakening figure will rouse slumbering Christians, prompting them to view the world through Edward's God-centered lens."

The book is divided into three sections.Part I "The Life and Legacy of Jonathan Edwards" introduces the book, and contains 3 essays on our need to rediscover Edwards, a biography of Edwards, and information about his marriage and family (ably done by Mrs. Noel Piper).Part II "Lessons from Edward's Life and Thought" contains some excellent essays by J.I. Packer and Mark Dever. But, for sheer impact and power, the highlight of this section was the essay by Sherard Burns, "Trusting the Theology of a Slave Owner".Mr. Burns, an African-American pastor and theologian, thoroughly and fairly looks at the reality of Edwards' ownership of slaves, and the failure of Edwards to apply his theology to that area.Burns, without excusing Edwards, gives a remarkable analysis of this sin in Edwards.Here are the paragraphs that blew me away:

"As an African American, I know daily the pressures of being in a predominantly white society.Yet how I approach that society, the grid by which I engage that society, is more telling than anything else.God cannot be sovereign over some things and yet not in control of others.This is no justification for abuse or racism, for such perpetuators will have their day of reckoning.But the eradication of racism today, as would be the case with slavery then, will not come about through programs, but by means of a God-centered and God-entranced view of reality.We must not be governed by the political persuasion of today, but governed by the sovereign reign and rule of God.Whatever we may think of Edwards, one thing is for certain:He left the American church with the necessary theological truths to kill racism in our hearts and to be conquerors of it in the church.

In light of that, though we fight and should fight the residue of such hatred in our day, the reality is that the desire to be theologically orthodox means we must add to our shelves books by dead white men who owned slaves.All our heroes today have clay feet.Jonathan Edwards was not a perfect man, and he did not get everything right, nor did he stand for all the right things.Neither do any of us.His blind spots and sins are pointers to our own blind spots and sins.To ask for grace and mercy on our own sins is, by logical implication, to be ready and willing to extend it to Edwards." (p. 170-171)."

Wow!'Nuff said!

Part 3 "Expositions of Edwards's Major Theological Works" is also very helpful in understanding some of Edwards more(admittedly) difficult works.The book concludes with an Appendix by (of course) Piper, who writes an "Edwardsean Sermon" in honor of Edwards, and a helpful guide by Justin Taylor on "Reading Jonathan Edwards:Objections and Recommendations".

All in all, I highly recommend this work to anyone interested in gaining a more God-centered, God-entranced view of all things.

great book - edwards continues to inspire!
This really is a great look at a number of characteristics of Jonathan Edward's life and ministry.A pretty quick read, but rich in depth, the book unashamedly argues for exactly what it says: a "God-entranced vision of all things".Piper hits the ball out of the park in the chapters he contributes (did you expect any less?), and the chapters by J.I. Packer and Mark Dever are also particularly good.Check it out today! ... Read more

Product Description
In his essay The End for Which God Created the World, the great theologian Jonathan Edwards proclaimed that God’s ultimate end is the manifestation of his glory in the highest happiness of his creatures.

Pastor John Piper has devoted his years of ministry to exploring the implications of this stunning truth for life and ministry. Understanding that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him has made all the difference for John Piper—and can transform your life as well.

Here Piper passionately demonstrates the relevance of Edwards’s ideals for the personal and public lives of Christians today through his own book-length introduction to Edwards’s The End for Which God Created the World. This book also contains the complete essay supplemented by almost a hundred of Piper’s insightful explanatory notes. The result is a powerful and persuasive presentation of the things that matter most in the Christian life. ... Read more

amazing
This is a wonderful book maybe one of the best I have ever had the privelage to read. It also came to me in a timely fashion and in excellent condition.

Changed the way I think about God
The End for Which God Created the World, (and by extension God's Passion for His Glory) is about exactly what the title implies, viz., the reason God created the world (or universe, if you prefer). It answers the question, "Why are we here?". Edwards' answer---and I believe, the Bible's answer, since that is Edwards' proof-text---is surprisingly straightforward and simple: God esteems himself as the ultimate end for which he made the world. The world was (and we were) created for God, or, to put it a different way, for God's glory.

One thing that stood out to me early in the book is Edwards' simple yet profound interpretation of a few verses I had seen a million times before, but had never considered in the context of this question. Edwards cites verses like Isaiah 48:12 and Revelation 22:13, where God calls himself the first and the last, and interprets this to mean that God is not only the first cause but also the last end or purpose of all creation. He similarly cites verses such as Romans 11:36, Colossians 1:16, and Hebrews 2:10, where all things are said to be from God, for God, and to God, to show that all things proceed from God as their creator and flow back to God as their ultimate end or reason for existence, and that all glory will ultimate flow back to God, so that the glory of God is the last end and final consummation of the existence of the world.

In fact, I've never seen so much scriptural support for any belief as Edwards provides for his claim that God makes himself his purpose in the creation of the world. Many times in the book Edwards lists off a half dozen passages and then says something like, "but places to this purpose are too numerous to be particularly recited; see them in the margin," and if you follow the footnote you're presented with a list of two or three dozen passages that are similar to the five or six already given.

I have been blessed by this book. I will never think about God's purposes and intentions in quite the same way again, nor will I read or understand many passages of scripture in the same way. I'm overwhelmed by how great God is and how insignificant I am in the scheme of things, and yet how significant I am to God in fulfilling his own purposes because I have the capacity (albeit only as the Holy Spirit works in me) to recognize God for who he is, to take my delight in him, and enjoy him forever, thereby giving him the honor, praise, and glory he alone is due. As Piper has said elsewhere many times, "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him," and, "the chief end of man is to glorify God by enjoying him forever."

Not for the faint of mind
Another excellent, thought provoking book from John Piper.His first four chapters were actually quite helpful to me when reading Edward's work, as I could see the points that Piper belives are there, review Edwards' biography, and see Piper's experience with him and what meaning is there. Be warned:this is not a book for the faint of mind.Section 1 of Edward's work is difficult to get through, mostly because we don't think that way anymore.This is a book which I will need to read multiple times to fully grasp - but offers a very compelling vision of what Christianity could be.

Challenging Read
The book is in two parts. The second part of the book is an essay by Jonathan Edwards called, "The End for which God created the World." Edwards lived in the 18th century and was a careful and brilliant thinker. Needless to say, the essay is very tough read. I tried reading it slowly and carefully, but I gave up and decided to read it in normal mode. I plan to go back in a year and try it again. The essay needs to be digested slowly with multiple readings. Piper has added many footnotes to help guide the reader through the more difficult passages.

The first part is Piper getting you prepared emotionally and physically for the intellectual climb. He does an excellent job of encouraging the reader to make the climb for the view is great from the top.

The book is worth reading even if you don't understand it. It helps bring into focus all of Piper's writings.

Majestic and Breathtaking
The End for Which God Created the World represents the core of Jonathan Edwards's thought.Edwards's thesis is this: God designed everything to revel in his glory, and he desires for us to take joy in his magnificence.What's more, those who enjoy God will enjoy him with ever-increasing joy for all eternity.Isn't that a breathtaking thesis?

Edwards marshalls huge amounts of scriptural evidence to support his claim, and, as always, he brilliantly answers philosophical objections against what the scriptures reveal about the matter.His writing throughout is penetrating, perceptive, persuasive, and deeply worshipful.

I think John Piper's goals in his contribution to this work were to whet the reader's appetite for the feast of The End for Which God Created the World and to make the work more accessible to the average reader.He succeeds in both respects.After reading Dr. Piper's introduction I was eager to plow forward, and, while reading The End . . ., I found Dr. Piper's explanatory footnotes helpful.

The End for Which God Created the World is a majestic work, and I am grateful that John Piper took the time to re-introduce it to the general public.May God use this humble offering from Jonathan Edwards's pen to help our tragically parched world find the living water flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb! ...

Product Description
Throughout his adult life Jonathan Edwards kept a series of personal theological notebooks on a wide variety of miscellaneous subjects. This volume includes the notebook series written during the eventful and tumultuous years 1740-1751, when Edwards was plagued by a series of bitter controversies with his Northampton congregation that culminated in his dismissal. This was also the period during which he witnessed, documented, and pondered the surprising revivals of the Great Awakening, as well as their precipitous decline. ... Read more

Edwards Soundly Refuted
John D. Wagner has edited and republished another classic and yet little known work on the freedom of the will by Methodist Daniel D. Whedon (1808-1885).It is extremely significant as the discussion over the freedom of the will has intensified greatly with the resurgence of Calvinism in mainstream Christianity.Many Calvinists today still point to the classic book by Jonathan Edwards (The Freedom of the Will) as an irrefutable work firmly establishing the Calvinist doctrine of necessity and compatibilism.Whedon brilliantly takes on the arguments of Edwards and his contemporaries in this excellent refutation of the "necessitarian" position.

Whedon covers every significant argument of Edwards and other "necessitarians" in this book and dismantles them piece by piece.He points out that many of the necessitarian arguments amount to question begging, bare assertions, or intricate sophisms, often riddled with embarrassing contradictions and absurdities.He explains that there simply aren't any sufficient arguments against the possibility of a single causative power in the agent capable of producing a variety of effects (volitions).He refers to this as "alternative power" in the Will and demonstrates that it is itself a full and adequate cause needing nothing else to put forth one effect just as well as another (alternative effect).In other words, nothing causes the Will to act a certain way since the Will is itself a full and adequate cause.He would classify Edwards' view of the Will as "unipotent" while calling his own view "pluripotent" (in contemporary discussions Whedon would be considered a "wide source incompatibilist")

He effectively takes on Edwards' argument from motive force; his argument based on natural versus moral ability; his argument based on foreknowledge; his argument based on a so called infinite series (or infinite regress); his argument based on chance, and numerous others.It is my opinion that Whedon's section "Reconciliation of Free Agency and Foreknowledge" definitively demonstrates the compatibility of foreknowledge with libertarian free will.It should be read and carefully considered by Calvinists and Open Theists alike (who both deny that foreknowledge is compatible with free will).

But Whedon is mostly concerned with the troubling and unavoidable implications of Edwards' necessitarianism: the impossibility of a just moral government and the damage done to God's holy character.It would be as unjust and absurd for God to hold a necessitated being morally responsible for his volitions and actions as it would to hold a clock hammer responsible for its movements.In the end, Whedon concludes that necessitarianism is in no way compatible with the freedom necessary for upholding a just moral government and providing the conditions for an adequate theodicy:

"From all this, there results the conclusion that without free volition there can be no justice, no satisfying the moral sense, no retributive system, no moral Government, of which the creature can be the rightful subject, and no God, the righteous Administrator...If there is a true divine government, man is a non-necessitated moral agent." (352)

At times the book presents very tough reading.Whedon is a very careful philosopher and takes great pains to develop his arguments and carefully define his terms in order to dispatch with the ambiguity that often clouds the topic and makes debating the subject nearly impossible.At times a single paragraph may need to be read several times in order to gather its full import, but the patient reader will be richly rewarded.I intend to read it several times and will no doubt gain valuable insight with each additional reading.If this is a topic of interest for you or if you have come to believe that Edwards' work on the Will is irrefutable, then this book is a must read. Read it alongside Edwards' work and decide for yourself who better makes their case.I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

Freedom of the Will: A Wesleyan Response to Jonathan Edwards
"Freedom of the Will: A Wesleyan Response to Jonathan Edwards" is the second installment from John Wagner, in recovering past theological treasures from the Arminian perspective. John Wagner's first installment was the classic work by Puritan, John Goodwin, "Redemption Redeemed: A Puritan Defense of Unlimited Atonement." In this, his second installment, Methodist theologian, Daniel D. Whedon (1808-1885) responds to famed Calvinist, Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758). Although this volume is not an easy read, when carefully studied, it reveals itself to be another masterpiece.

In addition to the reviews already stated, Whedon also addresses the theology of Open Theism, p.229. Whedon painstakingly parses through the logic of Edwards on an array of theological controversies, including, but not limited to, the nature of man's Will and God's Foreknowledge.

As a sample, Whedon writes: "Edwards continues to say, `Now it must be answered, according to the Arminian notion of freedom, that the Will influences, orders, and determined itself thus to act. And if it does, I say it must be by some antecedent act.' (65) But, we reply, as our `notion of freedom' requires no anterior causing or ordering of the Will to act, as we hold the Will in its condition to be a complete cause acting uncausedly, there is no requisite for any `antecedent act.' And so again the necessitarian cobweb is broken." (p.105)

In other words, while yes, there are always external influences, including God's influence of Prevenient Grace, man, being a self-volitional being, is therefore of himself, one of those influences, and thus acts freely and uncausedly in his choices.

Speaking on Foreknowledge:

Whedon writes: "If God's omniscient foresight of all that is or is not in the future is the effect of God's determination, then an *attribute* of God is created by an *act* of God. ... If God's foreknowledge depends on his determination, and must wait until after its existence, then he can have no foreknowedge of his own acts, and must wait for present or *post-knowledge* of them." (pp.225-226)

Whedon writes: "If by the absolute perfection of God's omniscience that one train of free events, put forth with the full power otherwise, is embraced in his foreknowledge, it follows that God foreknows the free act, and that the foreknowledge and the freedom are compatible." (p.229)

An Arminian Classic That Is A Must Read
John Wagner is to be thanked for taking time to edit this classic work by Daniel Whedon, a Methodist professor and theologian from the 19th century who was one of the first Arminians to respond to Jonathan Edwards' classic work THE FREEDOM OF THE WILL.Whedon's work shows the logical Arminian response to Edwards that is often lacking in much of the Arminian/Calvinist debate over the nature of human free will.

In essence, Whedon argues that God has bestowed, as a gift, human beings with freedom of the will.Whedon counters Edwards arguments both from Scripture and from philosophy.The book is no easy read but I think that Wagner has done a good job of editing the work so that modern readers can read the book and grasp Whedon's arguments.

The best part of this work is that Whedon counters Edwards arguments against free will point by point and argument by argument.Whedon leaves no stone unturned as he wrestles with Edwards divine deterministic theology.Whedon counters that Edwards arguments do more harm toward the character of God than good and he shows that if we accept Edwards position of divine determinism than we must conclude that God is the author of sin (He caused Adam to sin in Genesis 3) and that God's love and righteousness are destroyed in the process.

Overall, this is a must read for both Arminians and Calvinists.Calvinsits will find an Arminian who answers Edwards deep thinking with his own deep thinking and will challenge the Calvinist arguments against free will.Arminians will find a strong basis for their faith.A great book for any serious theological student of God's Word.

Whedon's Freedom of the Will
John Wagner recently edited and republished Daniel Whedon's Freedom of the Will: A Wesleyan response to Jonathan Edwards. The book is an outstanding refutation of Edward's Inquiry into the Will. Whedon seeks and engages top authors and arguments like Hobbs' argument (latter adopted by Locke and Edwards) that free will is incoherent, because it either amounts to a causeless cause or infinite regression of causes. Whedon responds by pointing out 1) the will is the cause of choice (74), 2) defining indeterministic causes (38-39) and 3) explaining that indeterministic causes account for either choice (71-72). In other words, indeterministic causes explain the goal of our choices (or reason for our choices), but in the will is the cause we choose this goal, not that goal. This is essentially agent causation.

Whedon's discussion of foreknowledge is fascinating. His refutation of Edwards' God's foreknowledge rules out freewill argument is solid. I like his pointing out that we don't know how God knows the future (229). I really like his moderate use of Molinism (245, 256). He enters an interesting discussion about the difference between certainty and necessity. Apparently Calvinists split in reaction to Hobbs. Some (like Edwards) argued the future is necessary. Others said it is not necessary, but it's certain. Whedon argues that certainty is equal to necessity if in every possible world the thing never happens (190-191).

Whedon's response to Edwards is devastating. He points out that Edwards view of freedom is post-volitional, not freedom of the will (17). Edward's notion of freedom is accurate, but incomplete and irrelevant to the Calvinist/Arminian debate. Whedon explains that that the three types of necessity (causal, logical and temporal) are all necessity. (33) Edwards attempts to split necessity into various categories is one of the ways he goes way off course. Whedon argues that saying "I can do X" implies "I can choose to do X" (209). Whedon exposes Edwards error of attempts to split them and then usurp the common notion of freedom based only on "I can do X". Whedon explains that choice makes the strongest motive and the last judgment of reason strongest and last (57).

I am glad John brought Whedon back. It's good to see such as strong Arminian response to Edwards, as I have often heard the claim that Edwards is unanswered. ... Read more

Product Description
First published in 1834, this massive volume has links from the table of contents to help you get to the parts that you want to read. According to Wikipedia: "Jonathan Edwards (October 5, 1703 – March 22, 1758) was a colonial American Congregational preacher, theologian, and missionary to Native Americans. Edwards "is widely acknowledged to be America's most important and original philosophical theologian". His work is very broad in scope, but he is often associated with his defense of Calvinist theology, the metaphysics of theological determinism, and the Puritan heritage. His famous sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," emphasized the just wrath of God against sin and contrasted it with the provision of God for salvation; the intensity of his preaching sometimes resulted in members of the audience fainting, swooning, and other more obtrusive reactions. The swooning and other behaviors in his audience caught him up in a controversy over "bodily effects" of the Holy Spirit's presence." ... Read more

Review on Essential Edwards on The Good Life
Book Review
By
Jason Scott


The Essential Edwards Collection: Jonathan Edwards on The Good Life
By
Owen Strachan and Doug Sweeney

This was the final volume of the five-volume set that I read.This set was not sequential, each volume can be read individually.However, I highly recommend reading the entire set.

This volume covered Edwards' view on a topic that is particularly relevant today.People are constantly striving for the good life.Both secular and "Christian" airwaves are full of advice on how to obtain the good life.Edwards' definition of the good life, however, greatly contrasts what is generally thought as the good life. "The Edwardsean doctrine of happiness is rich with irony.To save one's soul and experience deepest delight one must abandon the instinct to selfishly pursue one's well being.True self-interest involves turning one's life over to God..." Pg 33.

Edwards' did believe that God desires His creation be happy, however that happiness is only found in Him, and not the material things of this world.

This book contains five chapters:1) The Nearness of the Good Life, 2) The Distance of the Good Life, 3) The Taste of the Good Life, 4) The Pleasures of the Good Life, and 5) The Shape of the Good Life.

Jonathan Edwards is a life that is worth studying.It can be intimidating because of his deep thoughts and difficult writing style.Thankfully Strachan and Sweeney have done a great service and made Edwards more accessible.My desire is not to stop with this five volume set, but use it as a launching pad to more of Edwards' writings.Edwards' writings are available for free at [...]. ...

Sinners in the Hands
This is an excellent rendition of perhaps the most famous, important - and convicting - sermon in the past two hundred years. It is a message that everyone needs to hear.

Excellent CD!
So often we only share about God's love. This, in turn, tends to give people a picture that God is tolerant of sin. The Bible has a lot to say about the wrath side of God and that those who continue in sin will be judged by a holy God. I highly recommend this CD for every single person, Christian or not. You are still alive ONLY because of God's mercy and grace. Read John 3:36--He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Excellently done
From the 1730s to the middle of the 1740s, Colonial America was swept by a wave of religious conversion and activity, this era is remembered as "The Great Awakening." On July 8, 1741 in Enfield, Connecticut, pastor and theologian Jonathan Edwards preached this sermon on the reality of Hell and the inevitability of the eternal punishment for sin for those who do not avail themselves of God's grace. The sermon was enormously popular, and was reprinted widely, both at the time, and through to today.

This audio production of Jonathan Edwards' famous sermon was excellently done. Max McLean, the president of Fellowship for the Performing Arts, does an excellent job of reading the sermon in a clear and impassioned manner, portraying Rev. Edwards' intellectualism and passion for the conversion of souls.

I must say that I really liked this audio. All my life I have heard this sermon discussed, some people praising it and others disparaging it, so it was nice to actually hear it for myself, delivered in a tone such as those people in 1741 might have heard it. I won't argue the merits of the sermons, as I do not think that this is the proper forum for such a discussion. But, what I will say is this, if you really want to understand this sermon and its impact on Colonial American (and subsequent) theology, then hear it as it should be heard, and get this audio!

Very Pleased
Thank you for excellent merchandise and speedy delivery.Im very pleased with the CD.Would love to do business again in the future.Margaret Chapman
