Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“This volume is a wonderful addition to the ever-increasing corpus of volumes devoted to Jonathan Edwards or about some aspect of his theology. What makes this book especially helpful is its focus on Edwardss major theological treatises by men who are admiring students of the great New England Puritan. That doesnt mean they write uncritically. These essays are an engaging and discerning interaction with Edwardss thought and will undoubtedly prove to be the standard for this sort of treatment in the years ahead. If youve been hesitant to read Edwards, or perhaps somewhat intimidated by the depth of his theological insights, this book is the perfect place for you to begin in your study of this remarkable pastor and author. Highly recommended!”

“Christians wanting to dip into Edwardss daunting prose but seeking expert help in doing so will find it in this book. The tour guides are clear, edifying, and reliable. They dont discuss all of Edwardss massive body of work, but they treat most of his greatest hitsand do so in the service of what Edwards, quoting James, called true religion.”
