Synopsis: This second volume of Sermons by Jonathan Edwards on the
Matthean Parables contains a previously unpublished series of six
sermons by Edwards on Jesus' parable of the Sower and the Seed, as
found in Matthew 13:3-7. Edwards preached these sermons in 1740
immediately following the visit of George Whitefield to Edwards'
church in Northampton, Massachusetts, in October of that year. Not
only does this series have a historical significance for its place
in the Great Awakening, but it contains important pronouncements on
the preacher's craft and the hearer's responsibilities. These
sermons have been placed in the context of Edwards' preaching style
and method, and framed by historical considerations. Prepared from
the original manuscripts by the staff of the Jonathan Edwards
Center at Yale University, this series represents a significant
addition to the available Edwards corpus that will be of interest
to scholars, religious leaders, and general readers. Endorsements:
"Two preeminent figures of the Great Awakening--George Whitefield
and Jonathan Edwards--came together in Northampton, Massachusetts,
in October 1740. In the following month, with Whitefield in mind,
Edwards started to discuss the subject of preaching in a series of
sermons. Expounding on the parable of the Sower, the sermons are
reproduced here with the usual accuracy of the Jonathan Edwards
Center at Yale." --David William Bebbington, University of Stirling
"In the entire history of the church there have been few greater
preachers than George Whitefield and Jonathan Edwards. Here we meet
both of them in conversation with each other at the height of the
Great Awakening . . . Students of the Great Awakening will treasure
this documentation of one of the great moments of American history.
For students of homiletics, this could become an indispensible
source on the art of great preaching." --Stuart Piggin, Macquarie
