All -

I have contemplated for many years placing Edwards' public works on my site. Many of the sites out there do not have much of Edwards posted. So, after deliberation, I have begun posting them. Thus far are all his scientific writings, all his sermons, and half of his miscellanies. I will, as time permits, post more. for now, it will take you a better half a couple of years to finish what is out there right now. But Edwards has had such a profound impact on me personally, that I could not leave him out of APM even though he is not a "puritan" perse.

Blessings.

"To believe in the power of man in the work of regeneration is the great heresy of Rome, and from that error has come the ruin of the Church. Conversion proceeds from the grace of God alone, and the system which ascribes it partly to man and partly to God is worse than Pelagianism" (The Reformation in England (London, 1962), Vol. 1, p. 98)

Awesome!

Edwards is one of my favorites too. A sermon posted by Chris Coldwell earlier reminded me of him though, "The Dangers of being overwise."

"Be not wise above that which is written. Be not so wise as to attempt to make things plain which God in his wisdom has seen best left obscure"

" The point of true wisdom is to make our faith the exact counterpart of God's revelations; to believe that, and only that, which He has revealed, either directly or indirectly, in the sacred scriptures. But there are many who show themselves over-wise by departing from this simple principle, and making a use of their reason in connection with God's truth, for which reason never was designed. And the result is, that some, because they find difficulties which they cannot explain, deny the divine authority of the scriptures altogether; while others darken counsel by words without knowledge, and incorporate into their creed hair breadth distinctions and metaphysical dogmas, and the result of all is, either that in attempting to explain God's truth, they have explained it all away, or else they have, in a great degree, neutralized its influence by mixing it up with the deductions of their own erring reason. It is an error to believe too little, and an error to believe too much; and he who makes himself over-wise is sure to fall into the one or the other."


Edwards seemed to have a habit of trying to rationalize the mysteries of Christianity. I think this is one of the reasons I like him so much; he demonstrated the reasonableness and inescapable logic of orthodoxy. But was he rationalizing things to strange and far for man to understand? Was he too smart for his own good?

"The greatest thing we can desire, next to the glory of God, is our own salvation; and the sweetest thing we can desire is the assurance of our salvation. In this life we cannot get higher than to be assured of that which in the next life is to be enjoyed. All saints shall enjoy a heaven when they leave this earth; some saints enjoy a heaven while they are here on earth." Joseph Caryl

Wonderful, Matt! Thank you very much for this service to Christians everywhere! How superb to have all of these great works at my fingertips, online, no matter where I go!

Thank you!!

I think my favorite Edwards work will always be, "The Freedom of the Will".

Thanks, Matt!

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

More miscellanies updated.

Thanks especially for posting these. I have seen them referenced alot of places, but they are not contained in the BoT version of his works.

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him.
