Jonathan Edwards on Revival
This volume contains three of Edwards’ most important and analytical treatises on revival:
Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God
A Narrative of Surprising Conversions
An Account of the Revival of religion at Northampton, Massachusetts
Jonathan Edwards on Revival provides the reader a broad and over-all Scriptural view of the subject, both in theological terms and an assessment of the happenings he was observing during his times.
Edwards was one of the few truly great theologians of the English-speaking world, an intellectual and spiritual giant. When he began his ministry at Northampton, Massachusetts, New England had drifted from the Puritanism of its founders. Resisting the current trend, Edwards preached the whole counsel of God, and God plainly honored his ministry. Yet to all appearances his life ended in tragedy. Voted out of his pastorate by the members of Northampton, he died of fever at Princeton, only two months after taking over as President of the College.
Apart from his contribution to the Church in his own lifetime, Edwards left posterity in his debt by his prolific writings. His sermons and treatises have a timeless character. Special interest attaches to this volume, containing one of his most analytical treatises on revival, Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God, and his justly famous Narrative of Surprising Conversions.
The Narrative is both a detailed account of the famous revival of religion at Northampton in 1735 and a broad over-all Spiritual view and assessment of the work. It is hoped that this new edition will help further to familiarize evangelicals with one of their great forbears.

The Works of Jonathan Edwards (Banner of Truth edition)
$78.40Widely recognized as a great theologian, an influential preacher and a prolific writer, Jonathan Edwards played a prominent role in helping to spark the spirit of revivalism known as the Great Awakening in the eighteenth-century America. Edwards’ sermons, while intellectually engaging, were also accessible to the common people and often generated highly emotional responses. His foremost desire was to help people transform from mere believers in Christian doctrine to converted Christians who were moved to action by the principles of their belief.
This two-volume collection of Edwards’ works features important sermons of the Great Awakening as well as Edwards’ memoirs and other essays. First published in 1834, this new edition of The Works of Jonathan Edwards is the best available in print today.

Jonathan Edwards on Knowing Christ
$13.00Jonathan Edwards is widely recognized today as perhaps the greatest of all North American thinkers and philosophers. Such was the depth and power of his intellect that annually new books and articles on his work come into print. But Edwards was supremely a Christian thinker. His great goal in life was to know and glorify God through Jesus Christ and to encourage others to do the same. Consequently it is in his sermons that we find the real heart of the man.
Here he is thinker, herald, pastor and theologian all in one. This selection of ten of Edwards’ sermons provides a fine sample of the God-centeredness of his ministry. In them he shows the seriousness of man’s sinful condition, the riches of Christ’s grace, and the marvels of the Christian life. To read Edwards is, almost invariably, to be led into the presence of God. That was the great aim of his preaching, and echoes of it will be heard in reading these pages.
