Writings from the Great Awakening
Hardback
Age range: 18 to null
Publication Date: 02/01/2014
A collection of writings from and about New England's Great Awakening--a spiritual movement that gave rise to American evangelicalism--from the theologian and philosopher who first reported it to the masses Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) is recognized today as a great theologian and philosopher. In his own day Edwards was best known as a leader of what is now known as the Great Awakening: a series of small-town revivals that mushroomed into a movement credited with giving birth to American evangelicalism and laying the groundwork for the American Revolution. In authoritative texts drawn from first editions and manuscript sources, this volume brings together all of Edwards's essential writings from and about the revivals, including the famous sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" and his vivid Faithful Narrative of the Surprising Work of God in the Conversion of Many Hundreds of Souls, the work that first publicized the awakenings. Characterized by precise logic and powerful imagery, his writing continues to inspire students and spiritual seekers alike.
