Sermons Preached by Edwards (1725-1760)


Jonathan Edwards one of the great preachers and theologians of America comes alive in the "Altogether Lovely" which presents several sermons preached by Edwards on the loveliness of Jesus Christ. Sermons including “God the Best Portion of the Christian,” “The Excellency of Jesus Christ,” “Christ Exalted,” and many others emphasize the beauty to be found in the Savior and give us a glimpse into the warm, personal devotional life of Ewards.

I highly recommend "Altogher Lovely" whcih I found to be an eaiser read than "Freedom of the Will" or The Ends for which God Created the World." This book gives a wonderful portrait of how excellent and lovely Christ is in the believers life. One of my favorite hymns that came to mind frequently as I read was Beautiful Savior.
