The only full edition of Edwards' Works currently available. Dr. D. M. Lloyd-Jones said 'In my early days in the ministry there were no books which helped me more, both personally and in respect of my preaching, than this two-volume edition of The Works of Jonathan Edwards...I devoured these volumes and literally just read and read them. It is certainly true that they helped me more than anything else. If I had the power I would make these two volumes compulsory reading for all ministers! Edwards seems to satisfy all round; he really was an amazing man." 'For Edwards, the greatness of the gospel is visible only when viewed against the backdrop of the greatness of the ruin into which the fall has plunged us. The greatness of the disease requires the greatness of the remedy.' -- R. C. Sproul As a young man, Jonathan Edwards felt concern over the lack of attention to spiritual matters, even in church, in his community of Northampton. When that changed because of a revival during 1734-5, he wrote down the experience, and this material was published under the title of A Faithful Narrative of the Surprising Work of God . Then, the Great Awakening started in 1740, causing him to preach to and care for growing numbers of people. It also inspired two thoughtful, timeless books about revivals: Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God , and Thoughts on the Revival in New England , with this material available in Jonathan Edwards on Revival. Other Jonathan Edwards books still in demand today include Heaven and The Religious Affections , with people wishing to delve deeply into his writings reading The Works of Jonathan Edwards , Volume 1 and Volume 2 (also available in a set).
