Jonathan Edwards is a towering figure in American history. A controversial theologian and the author of the famous sermon Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, he ignited the momentous Great Awakening of the 18th century.
In this definitive and long-awaited biography, Jonathan Edwards emerges as both a great American and a brilliant Christian. George Marsden evokes the world of colonial New England in which Edwards was reared - a frontier civilization at the center of a conflict between Native Americans, French Catholics, and English Protestants. Drawing on newly available sources, Marsden demonstrates how these cultural and religious battles shaped Edwards' life and thought. Marsden reveals Edwards as a complex thinker and human being who struggled to reconcile his Puritan heritage with the secular, modern world emerging out of the Enlightenment. In this, Edwards' life anticipated the deep contradictions of our American culture.
Meticulously researched and beautifully composed, this biography offers a compelling portrait of an eminent American.

And on audible procedures: I think it really sucks that I can’t just rate by stars, after listening, and that I must write something. Poor way of doing business…

This was the first biography that I have read/listened to and it was captivating. I had long stayed away from biographies for fear of boredom but picked up this one at the recommendation of The Gospel Coalition and a desire broaden my reading intake. What a gift that it was. Marsden does a masterful job painting a picture of Edwards as a brilliant man after God’s own heart. His description of the ups and downs of Edward’s life gave me a deeper understanding and appreciation of one who’s theology has shaped my own and so many today that I respect so much. I often came away from listening to a chapter feeling as though I was being discipled by Edwards himself. It is long but it is worth it. Though excited for other books, I am honestly sad that I finished it. I highly recommend it.
