About this title

Review

"Jonathan Edwards remains unequaled among North American theologians. These selections exemplify his special traits: eloquence, knowledge of the human heart, and metaphysical passion for complex beauty in nature, God, and Being-in-general." "Selections ... representative of both the public and the private Edwards ... give readers a nuanced introduction to Edwards and his time as well as an accessible entree to the whole body of his work." "The most comprehensive one-volume Edwards anthology ever assembled." "Selections . . . representative of both the public and the private Edwards . . . give readers a nuanced introduction to Edwards and his time as well as an accessible entre to the whole body of his work."
