Items related to Jonathan Edwards: Basic Writings
Synopsis
The writings selected for this Meridian edition form the principle legacy of one of the most remarkable thinkers our country has produced. As a Puritan divine, Jonathan Edwards represented a major influence in American religious life; as a metaphysician, he was the first American to gain an international reputation as a human being, he imbued every page he wrote with profound personal commitment and moral concern. These selections extend from his first essays as a youthful prodigy to the great sermons and treatises of his maturity; they offer both a fascinating record of spiritual evolution and a body of intellectual achievement of truly enduring import. Writing of Edwards, Ola Winslow declares him "not only a master logician but also a great creative mind, calmly searching out meanings that have engaged great thinkers since the beginning of time-meaning of God, the universe and man in this world and in any future there may be... In the small but distinguished company to which he belongs, he is one of the few men of the far past who still have something to say to men of the present hour." 255 pages
