Edwards's theology of stewardship has been greatly overlooked by today's church. The teaching that we are merely stewarding that which the Lord has lent us, is a vital and altogether beautiful discipline! We have bypassed it primarily because we don't understand the spiritual duty expected to be enjoyed by us (especially of generosity to the poor) and have placed some of these teachings in the Old Testament box of stuff we don't know what to do with. We tend to consign these to the ancient nation of Israel from our modern and developed position as nothing to do with today's church whatsoever.

"Há milhões que refletem a glória de Deus de maneira comum. E há alguns a quem Deus concedeu capacidades incomuns de ver e mostrar a majestade divina nas Escrituras. Edwards é um desses. Consigo mergulhar em quase qualquer coisa que ele escreveu e, em pouco tempo, sinto-me absorto na realidade divina. O Deus da Bíblia - não um deus qualquer - reluz como uma explosão. Ninguém é capaz de me levar a isso como Edwards." - John PiperA obra que você tem em mãos começou a ser escrita pelo teólogo e filósofo reformado Jonathan Edwards em meados de 1750 e só foi publicada após sua morte, em 1765.O fim para o qual Deus criou o mundo apresenta ao leitor uma aula de argumentação filosófica e exposição bíblica a respeito de uma inquietação do autor: Com que finalidade Deus criou o mundo?

In a time where religion intellectualism has started to wane and the mystical philosophies of emotion have started to take over the church, this work is vitally important. Even in his day, Edwards dealt with people that were putting too much emphasis on either Intellectualism or Affection and not seeing the importance of both of them together. This volume helps to bridge the gap and gives us an alternative to worrying about bad emotions in our church to allowing a balanced experience of emotion in our churches. Now in larder print!

The Freedom of the Will is a work by Christian reformer, theologian, and author Jonathan Edwards which uses the text of Romans 9:16 as its basis. It was first published in 1754 and examines the nature and the status of humanity's will. The book takes the classic Calvinist viewpoint on total depravity of the will and the need of humanity for God's grace in salvation. Although written long before the modern introduction and debate over Open Theism, Edwards' work addresses many of the concerns that have been raised today over this view. Edwards responded that a person may freely choose whatever seems good, but that whatever it is that seems good is based on an inherent predisposition that has been foreordained by God.

Originally published posthumously in 1955, Harvey G. Townsend''s Philosophy of Jonathan Edwards reprinted some of Edwards'' most important early compositions on natural philosophy, "Of Being" and "The Mind," and collected nearly two hundred "Miscellanies" entries, some of them published here for the first time. In his introduction, Townsend points to Edwards'' "radical idealism" that derived from Christian Platonism and John Locke rather than George Berkeley, as commonly thought. Townsend''s work represents an important sourcebook for Edwards'' writings, and his introduction presents a clear picture of mainstream Edwards scholarship at the middle of the twentieth century.

New England pastor Jonathan Edwards encourages Christians struggling through the imperfections of life here on earth to experience the perfect love of God in communion with the Holy Spirit.

A major work in moral philosophy by the Puritan who was the most modern man of his age.Edwards at his very greatest . . . he speaks with an insight into science and psychology so much ahead of his time that our own can hardly be said to have caught up with him.Perry Miller, 'Jonathan Edwards'Like the great speculators Augustine, Aquinas, and Pascal, Jonathan Edwards treated religious ideas as problems not of dogma, but of life. His exploration of self-love disguised as true virtue is grounded in the hard facts of human behavior.More than a hellfire preacher, more than a theologian, Edwards was a bold and independent philosopher. Nowhere is his force of mind more evident than in this book. He speaks as powerfully to us today as he did to the keenest minds of the eighteenth century.

Many poignant questions about the nature of the human being, the definition of sin, and the relationship of liberty with morality. Overarching his discourse is God, whose ever-watching and all-knowing essence permeates the behavior of humankind, placing just constraints upon behavior.Edwards argues that God?s divine will is a necessary and inseparable part of what it is to be human, it shapes and guides the very destiny of individuals.

The famous sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Jonathon Edwards was delivered on July 8, 1741 in Enfield, Connecticut and is considered by many to be the most famous sermon ever given in America. It was published soon after and was an immediate commercial success. The sermon is a perfect example of the "fire and brimstone" preaching style that Edwards was well-known for and is an informative insight into the spiritual teachings of the American religious movement known as the "Great Awakening", that began in 1730. This movement was characterized by a teaching that hell was a real place and great suffering awaited any who were not saved by Christ and continued to sin. Edwards had been invited to preach by the pastor at the church at Enfield, which had largely been untouched by the growing "Great Awakening" movement. The sermon was powerfully delivered and instantly affected the listeners in a profound way. He continued to give the sermon several times and members of the congregation would often yell, cry out, or weep. This powerful sermon has endured the test of time and continues to be read, studied, and treasured to this day. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
