Few Christian leaders since the Reformation have been as gifted as Jonathan Edwards. A man of intense personal devotion to Christ, he was a leader of revival, and a creative Reformed theologian as well as being a missionary and a philosopher fully meriting Hugh Martin’s description of him as ‘that greatest of metaphysical divines’.

Yet it is likely that he would have preferred to be remembered simply as ‘pastor of the Church of Northampton’. Preached in 1738 (the same year that Edwards published A Narrative of Surprising Conversions), Charity and Its Fruits gives us an insight into his regular pulpit ministry in the years between the Northampton revival of 1735 and ‘the Great Awakening’ of 1740.

Entirely free from sentimentality this moving exposition of 1 Corinthians 13, like the better known Religious Affections, reveals Edwards’ insistence both that true Christian experience is ‘supernatural’- Spirit produced and Christ centered- and that ‘all true Christian grace tends to practice’. These sermons show how it is possible to steer between Arminianism on the one hand and Antinomianism on the other. The concluding chapter on heaven as a world of love is perhaps the most beautiful in all Edwards’s writings.

______________

Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758) was a pastor, theologian, and missionary. He is generally considered the greatest American theologian. A prolific writer, Edwards is known for his many sermons, including "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," and his classic A Treatise Concerning Religious Affections. Edwards was appointed president of the College of New Jersey (later renamed Princeton University) shortly before his death.

______________

It’s entirely appropriate that this book attracts the adjective ‘beautiful’. Jonathan Edwards is the sole truly Reformed theologian to take seriously the transcendental divine attribute of ‘beauty’. (Petrus Van Mastricht touches on the theme in contemplating the glory of God, in his Theoretical-Practical Theology; Karl Barth seems to have picked it up from him.) But it is Jonathan Edwards alone, among truly Reformed theologians, who integrated ‘beauty’ into the very fibre of his theological contemplation and consideration of the essential nature of God. Together with his recognition of God’s truth (dogmatics) and goodness (ethics), Edwards’ theological out-working of the theme of the divine attribute of ‘beauty’ (aesthetics) deserves our eternal gratitude. More than any other Reformed theologian, without any exceptions, Edwards, by including the attribute of ‘beauty’, shares with us the most comprehensive meditation we have been given by an uninspired author of the fullness of the glory of God. Only one other theologian, of equal ability, has developed the theme of ‘theological aesthetics’ at length: Hans Urs von Balthasar, (‘The Glory of the Lord’, in seven volumes; who, in many instances, unwittingly, closely echo Edwards). ‘Charity and Its Fruits’, would, without doubt, be my Desert Island choice of all Edwards’ works – a rare instance of a book that merits the description ‘heavenly’. (I’d have tucked ‘The Religious Affections’ into my sleeping bag!) Richard C Ross

Amazing Jewelry Travel Case
I bought this jewelry case for traveling on a cruise and I absolutely LOVE IT! When I purchased it I didn’t know if it would actually fit all the jewelry I wanted to bring but this box definitely impressed me! It fit all my regular jewelry plus more bc you know us woman love to coordinate with our outfits lol the case/box is sturdy! It didn’t break or even dent throughout my travels. It comes with different pieces to help organize and separate jewelry but it is removable if needed which I had to do bc one of my necklaces is really big. The case fit perfectly in my carry on luggage and didn’t take up much room at all which helped me a lot. I got the black case and I just love how simple and sleek it looks. This is definitely a must have if you need to travel with jewelry and are concerned about things getting damaged, this case keeps them safe and it’s definitely a great value for your money!
