Lisha's Reviews > Selected Sermons of Jonathan Edwards: With a Biographical Introduction and Notes

If you want a primary source account of what God was awakening in hearts of New Englanders in the early-to-mid-1700s, this is a great place to start. I wish more preachers and pastors would forego their own material once in a while and read straight from some of Edwards' sermons: he cuts to the heart of the matter - our wickedness and God's justice & mercy - and wrestles with it on his listeners' behalves, pleading with them (us) to examine their (our) hearts before God. 'Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God' is probably the best sermon I have ever read apart from those found in the Scriptures.
