Holy Living: Jonathan Edwards's Seventy Resolutions for Living the Christian Life - Matthew Everhard - Bog

Bag om Holy Living: Jonathan Edwards's Seventy Resolutions for Living the Christian Life

In Holy Living, author Matthew Everhard explores the "resolutions" Jonathan Edwards wrote when he was just nineteen years old, revealing how they are still beneficial to Christians today.Though not yet ordained, Edwards (1703-1758) wrote these short but powerful aphorisms to guide his life, and now they offer spiritual guidance to a modern audience as well. Following a brief biography of Edwards, the book then looks at each resolution under three main categories: (1) existential (considering the purpose of life); (2) ethical (considering the duty and character of the Christian); and (3) eschatological (preparing for the brevity of life followed by death and eternity). Lay readers, pastors, students, church elders, and study group members will find troves of timeless wisdom and guidance for how to live the Christian life.The book is divided into five sections: An Introduction to the Life of Jonathan EdwardsThe Meaning and Purpose of LifeHow Should We Then Live?The Brevity of Life and Eternal World to ComeWhy Did Jonathan Edwards Stop Using the Resolutions?It includes the following topics: Edwards's Youth and Conversion to ChristThe Early Pastoral YearsThe Writing of the ResolutionsFaith and AssurancePeace Relationships and Self-ControlThe Brevity of LifeHeaven and HellBetween Antinomianism and LegalismReflections of a More Mature SaintResolutions and the Gospel of Grace
