Jonathan Edwards

In the wake of the Toronto Blessing and other revival movements, Christians need this book more than ever. Edwards, the central figure in New England's first Great Awakening, offers his most detailed description of the signs--false and true--of religious revival, while high-lighting the role truly balanced emotions play within the Christian life.

Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God

While completing his preparation for the ministry, Jonathan Edwards wrote seventy resolutions that guided him throughout his life. About twenty years later he wrote a letter to young Deborah Hatheway, a new convert in a nearby town, advising her concerning the Christian life.These two writings, often reprinted during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, overflow with straightforward and biblically sound advice. This advice is as current today as it was in the 1700s, and it far surpasses the how to books now overrunning bookstores.

The Works of Jonathan Edwards

The scope of A History of the Work of Redemption is vast. From a deep extensive knowledge of Scripture, Jonathan Edwards sets out to survey the whole of the redemptive work of God in history, from the Fall of man to the consummation of all things. A thrilling conclusion emerges: Everything in human history from start to finish is subservient to Christ's work of redemption. Not only can nothing thwart that work, but, in the wisdom of God, all that comes to pass actually serves to advance it. In a series of thirty sermons preached in Northampton, New England, in 1739, Edwards sought to establish his congregation in this mighty truth. Later in his ministry he hoped to write a book expounding the same theme, and was even reluctant to accept the presidency of Princeton College for fear this project would be hindered. Although he did not live to carry out his intention, we can see the substance of what the intended book would have contained in this new edition of the sermons of 1739. Here readers can catch Edward's vision of the mighty advance of the cause of Christ in the world, and gain encouragement for all gospel labours from the certainty of its triumph.

In "The Freedom of the Will," Jonathan Edwards engages in a profound exploration of the nature of human choice and divine sovereignty through a rigorous philosophical and theological lens. Written as a response to the prevailing views of free will during the early 18th century, Edwards meticulously dissects the intricacies of human action, arguing for a compatibilist interpretation that reconciles human freedom with the omnipotence of God. With an eloquent, yet accessible prose style, Edwards weaves together scriptural exegesis and rational argumentation, providing a comprehensive examination of moral agency that has influenced both theological discourse and contemporary debates on free will. Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) was an American theologian, preacher, and philosopher whose intellectual pursuits were shaped by the turbulence of his time, including the First Great Awakening. His engagement with the philosophical currents of his era, particularly those emerging from the Enlightenment, positions him as a pivotal figure in American religious thought. Edwards's own deep convictions and experiences as a preacher, grappling with the existential questions of sin and redemption, imbued his work with urgency and clarity. Readers seeking a deeper understanding of the intersection between faith and reason will find "The Freedom of the Will" an invaluable resource. It invites contemplation on the complexities of human existence and the nature of divine grace, making it essential reading for anyone interested in theology, philosophy, and the historical context of American thought.

Published in 1754 amid post–Great Awakening controversy, The Freedom of the Will offers a rigorous compatibilist account of agency under divine sovereignty. Edwards distinguishes natural from moral inability and argues the will follows the strongest motive arising from one's prevailing disposition. Combining scholastic logic, scriptural exegesis, and Enlightenment precision, he contests Arminian libertarianism and clarifies necessity, contingency, and the renewal of the affections. Edwards (1703–1758)—pastor, revival theologian, later missionary at Stockbridge—wrote in dialogue with Locke and in rebuttal of New England Arminians, notably Daniel Whitby. Shaped by the Northampton revivals and his study of the affections, he sought to preserve moral accountability while grounding salvation in sovereign grace, refined by pastoral conflicts and reflective exile. Scholars of theology, philosophy of action, and early modern thought will value this lucid yet demanding treatise for its durable distinctions and argumentative economy. Patient readers will find a coherent framework for reconciling freedom and grace without evading responsibility. For seminars, clergy formation, or rigorous self-study, it remains an indispensable, clarifying classic. Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readable—distilled, never diluted.
