If you want to go deeper in your faith. If you want your understanding of doctrine to be strengthened. If you want to be inspired by a leading revivalist. If you want to be provoked to prayer. If you want to learn to reason well with Scripture. If you want to learn from one of the greatest preachers of all time. If you want any of these things, then you should read Jonathan Edwards.Jonathan Edwards' Original Sin delves deeply into this fundamental doctrine in Christian theology, arguing that all human beings inherit the sin of Adam and Eve, resulting in a corrupted nature and a separation from God. Edwards explores the theological underpinnings of this doctrine and its implications for human nature, morality, civic life, and salvation.Edwards' rigorous and systematic approach helped to make this work a cornerstone of Reformed theology, as well as a piece of historically important writing, offering insight into the intellectual and religious climate of early America.

A Faithful Narrative of the Surprising Work of God is Jonathan Edwards' account of the revival that broke out in Northampton, Massachusetts and other nearby communities which was the start of what later became known as The Great Awakening (1734-43), also called the First Great Awakening. There is much we can learn from Edwards concerning the nature of genuine conversion and how God's Spirit works in awakening and converting sinners.A Faithful Narrative is reproduced here in the hopes that many people will benefit from the wisdom learned by Edwards, called the greatest evangelist ever to grace the American continent.Different editions of this book had different chapter divisions, but the same information.A few old words we no longer use have been replaced with their modern equivalent, the spelling of a few words have been updated such as to-day to today. And a few very long paragraphs have been made shorter by adding an indentation, otherwise the words and punctuation are the same as original.The final chapter is an account of his early religious experiences and conversion that was found among his papers at his death, and is supposed to have been written at Northampton, when he was about forty years of age. It is not found in all editions of this book, so it is great to have it in this 2019 edition.

Lorsqu'on demande à un chrétien évangélique américain s'il a entendu parler de Jonathan Edwards, on reçoit presque invariablement une réponse enthousiaste : c'était un grand génie théologique d'autrefois. Il ne faut par contre pas insister, en cherchant à savoir ce que Jonathan Edwards a découvert, ou en quoi il a révolutionné la théologie ; personne ne le sait, parce que ses écrits sont trop profonds pour être compris... Espérons que cette reproduction numérique ThéoTeX d'un de ses ouvrages, traduit en 1854 par la Société des livres religieux de Toulouse, tordra le cou à ce cliché, repris parfois sans réflexion par des évangéliques français : Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) n'a pas été un génie, mais un très bon auteur puritain qui nous a laissé des documents intéressants, notamment sur le premier grand réveil religieux américain. Sa théologie reste tout-à-fait classique pour son temps ; ici il dresse une magnifique fresque de l'exécution du plan divin pour le rachat de l'humanité, débutant dès la chute dans le jardin d'Eden, et s'achevant dans la Jérusalem céleste, à la consommation des siècles. La partie eschatologique n'est évidemment pas discutée, puisqu'il s'agit d'un tableau, donné comme tel : le lecteur en retirera une impression saisissante de la majesté et de la bonté divines, rendues manifestes par l'admirable constance, sagesse et amour avec lesquels Dieu a poursuivi son plan de salut tout au long de l'Histoire. Nous avons traduit et rajouté en tête la petite préface que Jonathan Edwards Junior (1745-1801) avait placée dans l'édition anglaise de l'oeuvre posthume de son père.
