The Glory of God - learing from Edwards

A great book that I have read recently is by John Piper, "God's Passion for His Glory" which has included in it the complete text of Jonathan Edwards work "The End for which God Created the World."

John Piper helps to unpack Edwards thought on "The End for which God Created the World." He brings clarity of understanding with biographical background and theological perspectives. He shares with us Edwards, "radically God-centered view of virtue - which is, in fact, the end for which God created the world - and apply its scathy relevance to cultural transformation and world evangelism."

The book includes the complete text of Edwards work. Although difficult to understand in our day because of use of enlightenment arguments in the first half - the second half brings into view the Christian perspective and is worth the effort of wading through the first half. You will expand your understanding of the Glory of God in the reading of "God's Passion for His Glory."
