"This anthology includes an informative selection of sermons, letters, personal writings, and doctrinal treatises from various periods of Edwards's life. His writing is distinguished by felicity of language and sharpness of images. Edwards is important for the study of eighteenth-century American culture and history as well as religion. Highly recommended."Library Journal "The present volume has made accessible to a wide readership some of Edwards's most representative writings, selected from a vast corpus which only the specialist would work through. It has value for all who want to understand better how Christianity has come to be what it now is."John Macquarrie, Church Times "This new anthology of writings by Jonathan Edwards offers a rich and judicious selection of Edwards's most important contributions to American intellectual history. It is clearly the finest collection of Edwards's works ever assembled in one volume."Allen C. Guelzo, Harvard University
