I’ve been regrettably slow in noting the (relatively) recent release of The Essential Edwards Collection (Moody Press, 2010), five vols., written by Doug Sweeney and Owen Strachan. Doug is a world-class Edwards scholar, and the Senior Theological Mentor of the SAET’s Second Fellowship. Owen Strachan is finishing up his PhD at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and a Fellow in the SAET’s First Fellowship. I’ve not yet had a chance to view the collection, but Owen is bringing copies to the First Fellowship’s annual symposium in October. Looking forward to seeing Owen and the Essential Edwards Collection! See below for the publisher’s description:
“Johnathan Edwards was a colonial, philosophical preacher, and theologian. To many he stands as the preeminent theologian and thinker of the American tradition. This series of five books covers Edwards’ life and major writings opening an accessible window into the heart and mind of the pastor-theologian. They unearth the choicest treasures of Edwards’ writings and present them to lay people for discovery and personal transformation. The Essential Edwards Collection proves you do not need to be a scholar to enjoy and benefit from the writings and life from Johnathan Edwards.”
