Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of President Edwards, Vol. 4 of 8: Containing, a Treatise Concerning Religious Affections; Observations Concerning Faith; Reasons Against Dr. Watt's Notion of the Preexistence of Christ's Human Soul NE sure test of any thinker is the courage and persistence he displays in attacking fundamental questions. Judged by this cri terion, Edwards was a thinker of stature. Not only did he produce a formidable answer to the formidable problem of the freedom of the will, but in the present Treatise Concerning Religious Af fections 1 he struggled with the central question of Puritan Prot estantism: How Shall the presence of the divine Spirit be discerned? In the Afiections Edwards dared to see a perennial problem in a parochial situation; dared to believe that religious revivals in eighteenth-century New England would pose a problem as old as religion itself. By what criteria are we to judge genuine from spurious piety? Believe not every sp1r1t, but try the spirits, the author of the First Epistle of John had warned; Edwards was to teach his contemporaries how to Obey the command. To attack this question and to return to It In several treatises demanded a serious Spirit, but to believe that so basic a problem could be involved in experiences disdainfully described by some as mere commotions, buried away in a wilderness, took courage and resolve as well.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of President Edwards, Vol. 8 of 10: With a Memoir of His Life Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas; and brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? We have here and in the context an account of the conversion of the jailer, which is one of the most remarkable instances of the kind in the scriptures. The jailer before seems not only to have been wholly insensible to the things of religion, but to have been a persecutor, and to have persecuted these very men, Paul and Silas; though he now comes to them in so earnest a manner, asking them what he must do to be saved. We are told in the context that all the magistrates and multitude of the city rose up jointly in a tumult against them, and took them, and cast them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely. Whereupon he thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. And it is probable he did not act in this merely as the servant or instrument of the magistrates, but that he joined with the rest of the people in their rage against them, and that he did what he did urged on by his own will, as well as the magistrates' commands; which made him execute their commands with such rigour. But when Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises at midnight, and there was suddenly a great earthquake, and God had in so wonderful a manner set open the prison doors, and every man's bands were loosed, he was greatly terrified; and in a kind of desperation, was about to kill himself. But Paul and Silas crying out to him, "do thyself no harm, for we are all here," then he called for a light, and sprang in, as we have the account in the text. We may observe, 1. The objects of his concern. He is anxious about his salvation: he is terrified by his guilt, especially by his guilt in his ill treatment of these ministers of Christ. He is concerned to escape from that guilty state, the miserable state, he was in by reason of sin. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Works of President Edwards, Vol. 4 of 4 By divinity is meant, that science or doctrine which comprehends all those truths and rules which concern the great business of reli ion. There are vari ous kinds of arts and sciences taught and learned in t e schools, which are conversant about various objects about the works of nature in general, as philosophy; or the visible heavens, as astronomy or the sea, as navigation; or the earth, as geography or the body of man, as physio and anatomy or the soul of man, with regard to its natural powers and qualities, as logic and pneumatology; or about human government, as politics and juris prudence. But there is one science, or one certain kind of knowledge and doctrine, which is above all the rest, as it is concerning God and the great business of religion: this is divinity which is not learned, as other sciences, merely by the improvement of man's natural reason, but is taught by God himself in a certain book that he hath given for that end, full of instruction. This is the rule which God hath given to the world to be their guide in searching after this kind of knowledge, and is a summary of all things of this nature needful for us to know. Upon this account divinity is rather called a doctrine, than an art or science. Indeed there is what is called natural religion or divinity. There are many truths concerning God, and our duty to him, which are evident by the light of nature. But Christian divinity, properly so called, is not evident by the light of nature; it depends on revelation. Such are our circumstances now in our fallen state, that nothing which it is needful for us to know concerning God, is manifest by the light of nature in the manner in which it is necessary for us to know it. For the knowledge of no truth in divinity is of any significance to us, any otherwise than, as it some way or other belongs to the gospel scheme, or as it relates to a Mediator. But the light of nature teaches us no truth of divinity in this matter. Therefore it cannot be said, that we come to the knowledge of any part of Christian divinity by the light of nature. The light of nature teaches no truth as it is in Jesus. It is only the word of God, contained in the Old and New Testament, which teaches us Christian divinity.

Men Are Naturally God's Enemies; III. The Wisdom of God Displayed in the Way of Salvation; IV. Christian Knowledge, or the Importance and Advantage of a Thorough Knowledge of Divine Truth; Etc They who have a relish for the study of the scriptures, and have access to peruse the following sheets, will, I am persuaded, deem themselves indebted to the Reverend Mr. Edwards of Newhaven, for consenting to publish them, Though the acute philosopher and deep divine appears in them, yet they are in the general better calculated for the instruction and improvement of ordinary Christians, than those of President Edwards's writings, where the abstruse nature of the subject, or the subtle objections of opposers of the truth, led him to were abstract and metaphysical reasonings. The manuscript being intrusted to my care, I have not presumed to make any change in the sentiments or composition. I have, however, taken the liberty to reduce it from the form of sermons, which it originally bore, to that of a continued treatise; and I have so altered and diversified the marks of the several divisions and subdivisions, that each class of heads might be easily distinguished.
