***********
A few years ago, I mentioned in a sermon that Jonathan Edwards was the greatest theologian in the history of North America.
I added that given that the historic roots of our church are in New England Congregationalism, this should be of particular interest to our church.
As soon as church was over, someone approached me with an interest in reading Edwards. And, at that point, I hesitated. It was ironic. The guy who had just recommended that our people should know about Edwards paused before recommending a particular book.
My reason for hesitation was that I knew the lady had not read very much theology. And, I also understood that Edwards can be hard to follow. I was concerned that if she ordered something like Religious Affections, that she would quickly be overwhelmed.
Thankfully, my answer would now be different. Owen Strachan and Doug Sweeney have edited an accessible and affordable set of books that will introduce you to the thought of Edwards in a way that is far more accessible than diving directly into one of his books.
