Many know the name, few know the manJonathan Edwards can be hard to pin down. He was intelligent, yet warm, he preached graphic sermons on hell, yet wrote stirring essays on beauty, he was a product of his time, yet a reformer. In short, he was complicated, as most of us are. But in studying Edwards, you will discover something more valuable than biographical details. More than learning about the pivotal moments of his life, more than grasping...

Something in our culture has changed. The ground has shifted beneath our feet. We did not feel it. But change has come, just the same. We must reacquai...
