You've heard his name; you've probably heard your pastor quote him, but who is he really?

Two hundred and fifty years later, Jonathan Edwards, America’s consummate pastor-theologian, continues to capture the attention of Christians around the world. Yet Edwards left us over 1,200 sermons and thousands of pages of other publications, not to mention the literal thousands of books that have been written about Edwards since he died. Where does one even begin? That’s why we created The Essential Jonathan Edwards. It serves as a perfect introduction to Edwards’s life and thought. It explores Edwards day-to-day life, and his views on beauty, true Christianity, heaven and hell, and the good life.

Strachan and Sweeney strike the perfect balance between necessary background information and giving Edwards’s own works room to speak. Whether you’re an Edwards fan already or only know Edwards because of “that Angry God sermon”, this book will lead you to drink deeply of Scripture and gaze longingly at God.

It's hard to even review the life's work of any esteemed scholar or theologian in a treatment this size. I appreciate the effort made here for the parts that were focused on and the presentation of the man and his work, Jonathan Edwards. This treatment doesn't shy away from his failings, but also doesn't let the reader skip over the marvelous weight of contribution to issues which more than ever in our time grow in importance of be inng addressed. In particular the applications for our present time are very meaningful and worth consideration. Especially worthwhile are the discussions of the doctrines of eternity, and its effect on our evangelism, discipleship and daily living, as well as the consideration of nominal Christians and false professions within the context of the church body.

Great short overview, with many lessons for today
