About this book

This selection presents sermons by Jonathan Edwards, the New England theologian and preacher whose ministry stood at the center of the Great Awakening. The discourses bring his characteristic concerns — God's majesty, human guilt, the beauty of Christ, conversion, and eternal realities — into direct pulpit address. They provide a useful doorway into Edwards's preaching for readers unready for his larger treatises.
