Jonathan Edwards on Revival

In this classic collection, Jonathan Edwards, the great theologian and preacher of the First Great Awakening, offers his mature reflections on the nature and effects of genuine revival. With a discerning eye and pastoral heart, Edwards describes the astonishing outpouring of the Spirit in his own parish and beyond, distinguishing true signs of conversion from false ones. He exhorts all Christians to acknowledge and promote this glorious work, while also correcting excesses and avoiding pitfalls that can hinder it. Combining spiritual fervor with uncommon wisdom, Edwards provides a model of sober, biblical thinking about revivals that remains profoundly relevant for the church today.
