"Useful men are some of the greatest blessings of a people. To
have many such is more for a people's happiness than almost
anything, unless it be God's own gracious, spiritual presence
amongst them; they are precious gifts of heaven."
Certainly one of the most useful men in evangelical history was
the man who preached those words, pastor and theologian Jonathan
Edwards. Commemorating his 300th birthday, general editors John
Piper and Justin Taylor chose ten essays that highlight different
aspects of Edwards's life and legacy and show how his teachings are
just as relevant today as they were three centuries ago.
Even within the church, many people know little more about
Edwards than what is printed in American history textbooks-most
often, excerpts from his best-known sermon, "Sinners in the Hands
of an Angry God." They unjustly envision Edwards preaching only
fire and brimstone to frightened listeners. But he knew and
preached God's heaven as much as Satan's hell. He was a humble and
joyful servant, striving to glorify God in his personal life and
public ministry.
This book's contributors investigate the character and teachings
of the man who preached from a deep concern for the unsaved and a
passionate desire for God. Studying the life and works of this
dynamic Great Awakening figure will rouse slumbering Christians,
prompting them to view the world through Edwards's God-centered
lens.
