The Divine Decrees

"The ultimate end in a decree, [is] the shining forth of God's glory, and the communication of his goodness must indeed be considered as prior, in the consideration of the Supreme Disposer, to everything." Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) is widely held as perhaps the greatest American preacher and writer. In his sermons he had the amazing ability to combine the best of both worlds - rich, deep theology and intense, practical implications. In his writings he shines as one who leads people to climb summits of thought and worship where few have gone. His God-centered direction in teaching is much needed today. His God-centered view of the Glory of God and Jesus Christ is more relevant than most understand.
