Description: These two large hardcovers (over 1,900 pages) contain many of Edwards's sermons as well as his most celebrated works, including The Freedom of the Will, Original Sin, The Religious Affections, and A Narrative of Surprising Conversions. Widely recognized as America's greatest theologian and philosopher , an influential preacher and a prolific writer, Jonathan Edwards played a prominent role in helping to spark the spirit of revivalism known as the Great Awakening in the eighteenth-century America. Edwards' sermons, while intellectually engaging, were also accessible to the common people and often generated highly emotional responses. His foremost desire was to help people transform from mere believers in Christian doctrine to converted Christians who were moved to action by the principles of their belief.

"In my early days in the ministry there were no books which helped me more, both personally and in respect of my preaching, than this two-volume edition of The Works of Jonathan Edwards . . . If I had the power I would make these two volumes compulsory reading for all ministers.''
--D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) began his education at Yale College when he was thirteen years old. He served as pastor of the Congregational Church in Northampton, Massachusetts for over twenty years. His published sermons were widely circulated in America and England. He also served as a missionary to native Americans, and he was called to be president of the College of New Jersey (Princeton) just prior to his death.

This is a beautiful clothbound set. While the exterior dust covers may not be the most attractive but, in our opinion, the cloth interior binding is of higher quality as well as much more aesthetically attractive than the case-bound edition.
