Description : Jonathan Edwards continues to capture the
interest of many as one of America's greatest theologians. However, the very
thought of reading the works of such an intellectual giant can be intimidating.
In this book, W. Gary Crampton renders a clear and concise introduction to the
thought of Jonathan Edwards in an enjoyable conversational format. By posing
questions and crafting answers from selected quotations, Crampton provides a
comfortable atmosphere for surveying the life and thought of Edwards. This
dialogue makes an excellent resource for those looking for a brief and
accessible guide on Edwards.
"The Christian faith, by its very nature
and all-encompassing design, generates numerous questions. For example, Does God
love everyone? If so, in what way does He love the believer differently than the
unbeliever? If God decrees all things, does that render meaningless the warnings
of Scripture? How does a sinner come to a saving knowledge of God through Jesus
Christ? What should we advise weak believers who are seeking full assurance of
faith? What does profession of faith in the church entail? What is the essence
of heaven and of hell? In this book, Dr. Crampton allows us to sit at the feet
of America's greatest theologian, Jonathan Edwards, to hear his answers to these
and hundreds more of life's most important theological questions. A
Conversation with Jonathan Edwards is a delight to read, and will benefit
both the beginning and advanced reader of Edwards."
W. Gary Crampton holds the degrees of
Th.M. and Th.D. from Whitefield Theological Seminary, and Ph.D. from Central
School of Religion, in Surrrey, England. He is an ordained teaching elder in the
Reformed Presbyterian Church and the author of several books, including "Meet
Jonathan Edwards," "What the Puritans Thought," and "What Calvin Said."
