The first published work by eighteenth-century pastor and theologian Jonathan Edwards, God Glorified in Man’s Dependence was originally preached in the fall of 1730 in Northampton, Massachusetts. Due to the overwhelming power of sin, man must depend on God, who is glorified in the redemption of sinners.

In August of 1738, Jonathan Edwards preached Christ Exalted out of 1 Corinthians 15:25–26. This sermon hinges on two key arguments: in our present age, evil is highly exalted in the world; and Jesus, in the work of redemption, highly exalts himself above all evil.

The Freedom of the Will stands as Jonathan Edwards’ most significant contribution to Christian theology. In this classic work, Edwards argues against the notion of libertarian free will. He insists that human action is bound by human will, which in turn is bound by human nature and desire.

Jonathan Edwards preached his most famous sermon, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, on July 8, 1741 in Enfield, Connecticut. The emphasis of Edwards in this sermon is the grace of God, by which he restrains sinners and offers them the chance to repent and be saved from their just punishment.
