Selected Sermons of Jonathan Edwards

Jonathan Edwards (October 5 1703 - March 22 1758) was a Christian preacher and theologian. Edwards is widely acknowledged to be America's most important and original philosophical theologian and one of America's greatest intellectuals. Edwards's theological work is broad in scope but he is often associated with Reformed theology the metaphysics of theological determinism and the Puritan heritage. Recent studies have emphasized how thoroughly Edwards grounded his life's work on conceptions of beauty harmony and ethical fittingness and how central The Enlightenment was to his mindset. Edwards played a critical role in shaping the First Great Awakening and oversaw some of the first revivals in 1733-35 at his church in Northampton Massachusetts. (wikipedia.org)
