Summary

This theological overview of Jonathan Edwards#x19;s teaching centers on God#x19;s accomplished redemption and its personal implications for believers. Jonathan Edwards was a preacher, pastor, revivalist, and theologian. This volume unpacks his magnificent theological vision, which starts with God#x19;s glory and ends with all creation returning to that glory.#xA0; Sean Michael Lucas has converted his years of teaching on Edwards into this valuable work, which places Edwards#x19;s vision in an accessible, two-part framework. Part one focuses on Edwards#x19;s understanding of redemption history-God#x19;s cosmic, grand work from eternity past to eternity future, where all things are united in Christ. Part two examines Edwards#x19;s perspective on #x1C;redemption applied#x1D;-how that gracious, divine work unfolds in space and time to personally transform individuals, stirring their affections, illuminating their minds, and moving their wills to form new habits and practices. This overview of Edwards#x19;s theology will prove to be a thought-provoking, encouraging guide to contemporary believers at every stage of their spiritual journey.#xA0;
