The Miscellanies, 1153-1360 (The Works of Jonathan Edwards Series, Volume 23)

Yale University Press, 2004

The Mount Everset of Theology!
Martyn Lloyd-Jones said that he was "tempted, perhaps foolishly, to compare the Puritans to the Alps, Luther and Calvin to the Himalayas, and Jonathan Edwards to Mount Everest!" (The Puritans: Their Origins and Successors, p. 355). I concur. Nothing in my library holds such a storehouse of wealth, as do these two hefty tomes. Edwards was a brilliant theologian, a zealous evangelist, an ...

Banner of Truth, 1969

Musat read for every Calvanist!
Today one may hear a professing christian say that they "love Jesus'. Yet, Jesus said that our love for Him would be evident in the way we treat our neighbors. Even our enemies. This book will challenge every child of God to examine the way he or she lives in light of the great commandment, as well as Paul's teaching on 1 Cor 13. For, this book is a collection of sermons on the thirteenth ...

Writer's Showcase Press, 2000

No-holds-barred courage
I read this titillating tome cover to cover on the way home, laughing and being illuminated. I love it. I've already loaned it to my kid. I can't tell you how much I laughed. It was so good to find two people with a sense of humor and smarts and no-holds-barred courage. The honesty, coupled with the humor, sets a challenging example, I think, to any writer who reads it. Loved the raving ...

Beware of nutcase reviews of this book.
John Calvin and Jonathan Edwards are, without question, two of the greatest theologians in the history of the church. Who is Mike DeSario?

Edward Weston: A Legacy

Merrell, 2003

Overdue but worth the wait
Edward Weston gave more that 500 of his favorite works to the Huntington Library. Note books and other written material complete a major collection. This book is a major attempt to organize and say something meaningful about a prolific, private genius. I haven't read it all but I've already learned a lot and I've studied Weston for 40 years. The reproductions and their display as 8X10 contact ...

Religious affections (His Works)

16 reviews
Jonathan Edwards

Yale University Press, 1959

Rich, Rewarding, and Convicting
This is one of the great devotional Christian classics of the 18th century, but it still packs a mighty punch today. It began its life as a series of sermons preached by Edwards to his Northampton congregation in 1742 and 1743, and was first published in 1746. Edwards discusses the place of religious fervor and feelings in the Christian life. For those who prefer a more staid and serene Christian ...

Religious Affections: A Christian's Character Before God

4 reviews
Jonathan Edwards, Charles W. Colson

Regent College Publishing, 2003

Defines the term "spiritual classic"
Houston's abridgement and editing have led to this one effect among others: Reading the book itself becomes a spiritual experience. We become examined, humbled, then excited and inspired. These are the questions Edwards' explores: What are the roles of the affections (i.e., emotions) for a Christian? How do we know they are genuinely from God's grace? In answering this he points to the ...

How They Found Christ: In Their Own Words

3 reviews
John Calvin, John Bunyan, ...

Ministry Publications, 1997

Inspiring and historical
Extracts of autobiographical writings by notable Christians, with a focus on the moment of conversion in their lives. One would have to spend quite alot of money to assemble the original literature from which this was culled. An excellent digest, recommended for devout Christians and seekers.

A Word of Warning About Piper's Emphasis
This is a general comment on Piper's books. I deeply appreciate the work of John Piper--especially his emphasis on missions and on living God-centered, Christ-exalting lives of worship. And I am Augustinian, so I love Piper's theology and am thrilled that he has become so popular. But I do want to provide a warning. Piper's main emphasis is (and you'll read this over and over again) "God is most ...

Sets a new standard
I made it out of New Orleans after Katrina with a backpack. In it I brought one book--this one! Before getting to the articles, I should mention that the '05 ARN has some major new design features. Most importantly, there are MANY more color illustrations which are now integrated into the text, instead of being on separate plates as in previous volumes. The paper stock is heavier and of ...

Jonathan Edwards on Knowing Christ

2 reviews
Jonathan Edwards

Banner of Truth, 1990

Outstanding Sermons
A lot of great lessons on God's relationship to Man. He has kept God central in his writtings and there is a lot of valuable theological ideas in this book that I think would benefit students of the Scriptures on such as the importance of the role of repentance in Salvation; how God manifests first of all man's sinfulness and guilt before he is shown mercy and grace. Thus making the gospel, turly ...

An American Revival (A Faithful Narrative of the Surprising Work of God)

2 reviews
Jonathan Edwards

Diggory Press, 2007

A Faithful Review on a Faithful Narrative
Over the years Jonathan Edwards has gotten some undeserved negative press. Apparently that was from folks who stereotype and categorize people without exploring the whole person. Jonathan Edwards meticulously described the spiritual events which occurred in his community in the early 1730's. He was clearly an objective observer for most of this work, not offering an opinion or conclusion until ...

First issue - Collector's item
This is the first issue of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, which has been popular enough to continue even today, years after Asimov's demise. To start off with a bang, this first edition included works by some of the sci-fi fields best authors of the 20th century, including Arthur C. Clarke, Gordon R. Dickson, George O. Smith, John Varley, and Asimov himself. I recall buying this around ...

FROM EAST BAY EXPRESS
You've read comic books about war (Maus). You've read poetry about war (The Iliad and the works of Wilfred Owen). You've heard jokes about war (Q. How many Vietnam veterans does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A. You wouldn't know, man, you weren't there!) and revelations about war (it's hell). But never before have all these disparate realms been tied together in a single package. Deployed to ...

The nature of true virtue (Ann Arbor paperbacks)

1 review
Jonathan Edwards

University of Michigan Press, 1966

Great Christian classic on True Virtue (virtue ethics)
At the present time, Amazon.com is not listing that it's not just Edwards, but specifically, Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758), the same one that wrote "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God". Thus, he is strongly classically evangelical, believing in the doctrines of original sin, love for God... and subsequent Christian teachings such as love for enemy, love for neighbor. The summary of the book for ...

Jonathan Edwards

Yale University Press, 2006

A Much Anticipated Release
Following the 300th anniversary of Edwards, the popularity of John Piper and Christian Hedonism and a resurgence of Edwards scholars, the great American theologian may now be more popular than ever. Yale has been working on publishing the definitive Edwards collection from their vast collection of his original manuscripts and through tedious effort have produced a fine volume in "The Blank ...

Jonathan Edwards

Christian Life Books, 2003

The most famous sermon in American history
Along with John Cotton and George Whitfield, Jonathan Edwards was one of the most important preachers in American history. The grandson of Solomon Stoddard, the famous revivalist preacher from Northampton, Massachusetts, Edwards entered Yale in 1716 at the age of thirteen and received his first ministry in New York at the age of nineteen. In 1729, at the age of twenty-six, he succeeded his ...

Crowood Press, 1996

Greener Now
Given a Greenhouse as a present, I had no idea how to run it. After a lot of searching, I found this book and it answered all my questions. It told me my greenhouse was the perfect size for a beginner, different types of heaters and the advantages and disadvantages of each heater, for the greenhouse, the temperature that should be maintained, and even how to make containers for the plantings. I ...

Annual Reviews, 2004

Excellent as usual
The 2004 edition of ARN is up to the usual high standards of this series. As a clinical neurologist, the articles I found most clinically relevant were: The Medial Temporal Lobe, which contains a good overview of memory systems; Cortical Neural Prosthetics, an intro to the future of rehab--shades of The Matrix--where cortical activity can be used through a computer interface to control ...
