Sermons of Jonathan Edwards

About This Book

"Today Jonathan Edwards is primarily remembered as a gifted and influential theologian. But in eighteenth-century America, his preaching resounded from pulpits throughout New England, sparking the flame of revival that became the Great Awakening. As the fame of this Puritan pastor and preacher of revival spread far and wide, his sermons galvanized those who heard them into reexamining their lives and faith." "Arranged chronologically, this selection of twenty representative sermons allows us to hear the words that so stirred a young nation. Some are revival sermons, calling for repentance, some are pastoral, some instructional, and others written for specific occasions. But each one is a personal invitation to know God both through our intellect and through our affections."--BOOK JACKET.
