Jonathan Edwards: His Life & Writings | RTP 18

Jonathan Edwards is regarded as many as the greatest mind America has ever produced, and he is held up as an excellent example of a pastor-theologian. Even so, many people's familiarity with Edwards does not extend beyond his famous sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God."

On This Episode We’ll Discuss:

• A biographical sketch of Edwards' life and ministry
• Why you need to read more than "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God"
• Edwards' key role in the First Great Awakening
• What Edwards was like as a pastor
• An overview of many of his major written works and where you should start
