Description: Sermons on 1 Corinthians 13 which give a rich insight into Edwards' regular pulpit ministry. The concluding chapter is on heaven as a world of love. "...the God of love himself dwells in heaven. Heaven is the palace or presence-chamber of the high and holy One, whose name is love, and who is both the cause and source of all holy love. God, considered with respect to his essence, is everywhere – he fills both heaven and earth.... And this renders heaven a world of love; for heaven is the fountain of love, as the sun is the fountain of light." (p.326) Entirely free from sentimentality this moving exposition of 1 Corinthians 13, like the better known Religious Affections, reveals Edwards' insistence both that true Christian experience is "supern "all true Christian grace tends to practice." These sermons show how it is possible to steer between Arminianism on the one hand and Antinomianism on the other. The concluding chapter on heaven as a world of love is perhaps the most beautiful in all Edwards's writing.

Edwards here provides an excellent and thorough analysis of Christian love ('charity')‹what it looks like, how we come to possess it, how it compares to other Christian virtues and gifts, and how it contrasts with sinful human nature. An important book to read, you will be hard pressed to find something more biblically grounded, theologically exciting, and spiritually devotional in all of Christian literature.
