Awakening: The Essential Writings Of Jonathan Edwards

"So much good and so much bad are mixed together in the church of God. It is an amazing puzzle that the divine, precious, saving grace of God can dwell together with so much corruption, hypocrisy, and iniquity." - Jonathan Edwards

Jonathan Edwards, 1702-1758, was one of America’s finest preachers. However, the challenges presented by his writing style have made his works difficult for today’s readers to attain. In this edition, Bangley modernizes selections of Edwards’ Religious Affections, Narrative of Surprising Conversations, sermons, journals, autobiography, and correspondence. With striking clarity, this new collection reveals the wisdom of one of America’s greatest religious thinkers.
