Bøger af Jonathan Edwards

Jonathan Edwards (October 5, 1703 - March 22, 1758) was a revivalist preacher, philosopher, and Congregationalist Protestant theologian. Like most of the Puritans, he held to the Reformed theology. His colonial followers later distinguished themselves from other Congregationalists as "New Lights" (endorsing the Great Awakening), as opposed to "Old Lights" (non-revivalists). Edwards is widely regarded as "one of America's most important and original philosophical theologians." Edwards' theological work is broad in scope, but he was rooted in Reformed theology, the metaphysics of theological determinism, and the Puritan heritage. Recent studies have emphasized how thoroughly Edwards grounded his life's work on conceptions of beauty, harmony, and ethical fittingness, and how central The Enlightenment was to his mindset. Edwards played a critical role in shaping the First Great Awakening, and oversaw some of the first revivals in 1733-35 at his church in Northampton, Massachusetts. Edwards delivered the sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," a classic of early American literature, during another revival in 1741, following George Whitefield's tour of the Thirteen Colonies. Edwards is well known for his many books, The End For Which God Created the World, The Life of David Brainerd, which inspired thousands of missionaries throughout the 19th century, and Religious Affections, which many Reformed Evangelicals still read today. Edwards died from a smallpox inoculation shortly after beginning the presidency at the College of New Jersey (Princeton). He was the grandfather of Aaron Burr, third Vice President of the United States.

Puritan preacher Jonthan Edwards was one of America's preeminent theologians. Scholars and laymen still find great value in studying his works. In Charity and Its Fruits, Edwards systematically works through I Corinthians 13 to show how charity (love) is all important to the Christian and the Church. The 16 sermons conclude with Heaven, a World of Charity or Love, a wonderful, uplifting exposé on the eternal glory that awaits all believers. Edward's powerful, spirit-filled sermons will be sure to challenge and encourage. Alacrity Press is proud to republish this Christian classic that is as relevant today as when it was first published.

The Select Sermons of Jonathan Edwards gathers together nineteen of the most well-known sermons by the influential 18th century American Christian preacher. Sermons include the convicting treatises "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," "The Vain Self-Flatteries of the Sinner," and "The Justice of God in the Damnation of Sinners." It is often assumed that Edwards was simply a hell, fire and brimstone preacher. That simply is not the case. Edwards consistently warned his flock about the danger of sin but also edified and uplifted his congregation with encouraging sermons such as "Many Mansions," and "The Excellency of Christ."

And a few very long paragraphs have been made shorter by adding an indentation, otherwise the words and punctuation are the same as original.The final chapter is an account of his early religious experiences and conversion that was found among his papers at his death, and is supposed to have been written at Northampton, when he was about forty years of age.
