Some readers will also complain that it gets off to a slow start. This is standard for an extended speech in any context. An experienced speaker intending to speak at length will give his audience a minute...

While the idea that God created the world for His glory may seem obvious to some and perhaps confusing to others, Jonathan Edwards describes this beautiful premise with Scriptural evidence and in a completely revelatory way. In detailing not only the nature of God, but also of creation, humans, and individual will, Edwards shows that God's purpose of bringing Himself glory works also, ultimately, for the fulfillment of all creation's joy. A spiritual...

A sermon preached by Jonathan Edwards to his Enfield, Connecticut, congregation in July 1741, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is particularly noted for its vivid descriptions of the torments of Hell and mankind's natural depravity. At the same time, it was also an appeal to man's need for salvation and a reminder of the agonies that awaited the unreformed.

THE sublimest subject of contemplation for the mind of man is, unquestionably, the Being who made him. But the character of God is an immense field. He who attempts to traverse one side of it, leaves others unseen. Nay, it is infinite, - it is boundless. Man can never have exhausted it. That part of it, however, which comes within the range of his vision, has varied aspects. To no one of them can he turn and say, "This is all." They mistake, therefore,...
