Sermons by Jonathan Edwards on the Church Volume I: How Christians Are Come to Mt. Sion (The Sermons of Jonathan Edwards)

In April 1740 Jonathan Edwards minister of Northampton Massachusetts preached a discourse on Hebrews 12:22-24 comprising eight sermons. At this point he had been the senior pastor of that town for just over a decade and had seen his congregation through the historic Connecticut Valley Awakening of the mid-1730s when several hundred souls were reportedly savingly converted. This first volume of Sermons by Jonathan Edwards on the Church contains the previously unpublished Hebrews discourse Christians Coming to Mt. Zion preached on the very cusp of the transatlantic religious movement that would become known as The Great Awakening the New England phase of which began later that year. In addition to the complete and original text of Edwards discourse the volume includes two introductions that describe his preaching style and method and provide an historical context.
