Bøger af Jonathan Edwards

Jonathan Edwards is one of America's greatest philosophers and theologians, and his sermons and texts are treasured pieces of American Puritan literature. He spent much of his life as a missionary to Native Americans, and his dedication to the faith has inspired generations of Christians. Edwards is known for both his high intelligence and reasoning prowess, as well as for the raw and tangible passion he expressed in his sermons. Known as a "fire and brimstone" preacher, Edwards converted many 18th century Americans.

"A Divine and Supernatural Light, Immediately Imparted to the Soul by the Spirit of God, Shown to Be Both a Scriptural and Rational Doctrine," was preached by Jonathan Edwards in Northampton, Massachusetts in 1734. Jonathan Edwards explains how the flesh and blood of the natural world differs from the work of the Holy Spirit. He contrasts having an intellectual knowledge of the matters of God, with having supernatural experiential knowledge of the matters of God.

Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God: Sermons of Jonathan Edwards by Jonathan Edwards. Jonathan Edwards was an American revivalist preacher, philosopher, and Congregationalist Protestant theologian. Like most of the Puritans, he held to the Reformed theology. His colonial followers later distinguished themselves from other Congregationalists as "New Lights" (endorsing the Great Awakening), as opposed to "Old Lights" (non-revivalists). Edwards is widely regarded as "one of America's most important and original philosophical theologians". Edwards' theological work is broad in scope, but he was rooted in Reformed theology, the metaphysics of theological determinism, and the Puritan heritage. In this verse is threatened the vengeance of God on the wicked unbelieving Israelites, that were God's visible people, and lived under means of grace; and that notwithstanding all God's wonderful works that he had wrought towards that people, yet remained, as is expressed verse 28, void of counsel, having no understanding in them; and that, under all the cultivations of heaven, brought forth bitter and poisonous fruit; as in the two verses next preceding the text.

Jonathan Edwards published A Treatise Concerning Religious Affections, more commonly known as Religious Affections, in 1746 to explain how true salvation occurs. The work was born out of a concern for outbursts of emotion that were common during the Great Awakening (which had begun in Edward's church in 1734). In this work Edwards explains how emotion and intellect may both be present but are inadequate for salvation. A show of emotion is neither evidence of or evidence against one's salvation. It is God's "converting grace" that leads people to recognize and accept salvation through Jesus Christ. Edwards systematically explains that the true religious affections are the Fruits of the Spirit-all of which must flow out of love.

"The Excellency of Christ" was preached in Northampton, Massachusetts by Jonathan Edwards and printed in 1738. This sermon explains Christ's excellency in terms of almost contradictory conjunctions such as Christ being a lion and also a lamb at the same time. In the APPLICATION the reader is exhorted to love and embrace Christ as friend, portion and Savior because of His many excellencies.

"The Justice of God in the Damnation of Sinners" was published in 1738 and is a discourse on why it is just for God to render a harsh judgment towards mankind. Jonathan Edwards explores how we stand as sinners before God and that God is under no obligation to us. The APPLICATION involves a review of one's life and if God treated people how they acted toward God it would be much worse than God's marvelous love toward us.

Because Heaven will permit no unloving person or anything not worthy of our affections, God requires that His people bear the fruits of love in order to enter His Kingdom. Edwards describes what love is, the objects of its affections and the fruit love must bear.

""The Salvation of All Men Strictly Examined: And the Endless Punishment of Those Who Die Impenitent"" is a religious text written by Jonathan Edwards. In this book, Edwards examines the concept of universal salvation, which suggests that all people will ultimately be saved and reconciled with God. Edwards argues against this idea, instead emphasizing the importance of repentance and faith in Jesus Christ in order to avoid eternal punishment. He explores the biblical basis for the doctrine of eternal damnation, examining passages that describe the fate of the wicked and the nature of God's justice. Throughout the book, Edwards emphasizes the urgency of turning to God and seeking salvation before it is too late. This text is a significant contribution to the theological debate surrounding the nature of salvation and the afterlife, and remains a relevant and influential work in Christian thought today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Jonathan Edwards' sermon Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God is arguably the most famous sermon ever preached. It is an eloquent but passionate plea to take God's displeasure with man as the dire circumstance that it is. A profound love for sinners and a pastor's heart motivated Edwards to preach this immortal address, a message as relevant today as it was then. His comprehensive urging of "natural man" to be born again is a masterful exercise in addressing all arguments that God's judgment and condemnation of sinners to hell can be averted by any effort of mankind. He speaks of man's schemes and man's wisdom as utter foolishness. Edwards backs up every claim he makes with Holy Scripture. He well knows that there are people in the very congregation he is speaking to that will scoff and rebelliously turn their deaf ear to it and thereby die without excuse. How about you dear reader? Will you harken to God's fervent plea to you through His faithful servant Jonathan Edwards and be saved by His grace? Will you rejoice in the power, love and mercy of God, and no longer be bound by fear of death? To read this minister's powerful warnings offers yet another chance to be saved from a God that is both justly angry over sin and yet still willing, able and ready to save us through the atoning death of His dear Son the Lord Jesus Christ. The message is a fiery one, but that's the point. Read it and live! As an added bonus this edition also includes the famous address by C. H. Spurgeon, "Turn or Burn".

It is the duty of all Christians to protect themselves from temptations even activities that may lead to temptations and sin. Edwards describes the blessings that come to those who eagerly seek righteousness and warns those, especially younger people, what happens when a person is not vigilant in remaining pure.

This volume also includes another classic Edwards sermon, Love the Sum of All virtue. Both sermons have been updated for modern readers, keeping all of Edwards' ideas and voice, but presented in a form that today's readers can easily digest.

While completing his preparation for the ministry, Jonathan Edwards wrote seventy resolutions that guided him throughout his life. About twenty years later he wrote a letter to young Deborah Hatheway, a new convert in a nearby town, advising her concerning the Christian life. These two writings, often reprinted during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, overflow with straightforward and biblically sound advice. This advice is as current today as it was in the 1700s, and it far surpasses the "how to" books now overrunning bookstores.

"At all costs, read the Religious Affections!" - John Piper The progression sketched in this little piece on a monumental spiritual work is important. When we encounter a great and holy God in all His beauty, we are stirred to live holy lives. So many of us want to live vibrantly before God, to experience the "fullness of joy" spoken of in Psalm 16:11. So, we make some resolutions, grit our teeth, and resolve to pray more and sin less. Religious Affections lays out the cornerstone of Christian thought of the mid-18th century. Impossible to ignore, Religious Affections demands a response. No one can read it and be unchanged. The level of discipleship it asks is shocking to modern readers, but ultimately necessary for our salvation. Religious Affections is a work by Jonathan Edwards now brought to you in this new edition of the timeless classic.
