A Brief Book Notice from Books At a Glance

Fred Zaspel

 

This little series of books has been out for nearly ten years, but this is my first acquaintance with it. I just read Strachan’s and Sweeney’s 2010 book, Jonathan Edwards on Heaven and Hell, and I’m sold. It’s a great idea for two reasons. First, it’s a great idea because Edwards on these subjects is essential reading. Edwards on heaven and hell is profound and sobering, and his work on these other subjects in this series is seminal also. It’s a great idea also because it provides an introduction to Edwards that is accessible to anyone. Edwards is not the easiest reading in the world, but this makes an acquaintance with Edwards both quick and simple.

For those who haven’t read Edwards, this is surely the place to start. What a treat.

Here are the five titles in the series:

Jonathan Edwards Lover of God

Jonathan Edwards on Beauty

Jonathan Edwards on the Good Life

Jonathan Edwards on True Christianity

Jonathan Edwards on Heaven and Hell

 

Here you can get all five volumes in one:

The Essential Jonathan Edwards: An Introduction to the Life and Teaching of America’s Greatest Theologian 

 

Enjoy!
