Digital
Overview
This collection of sermons by Jonathan Edwards includes his most important and impactful words on the nature, origin, and positive yields of charity. Included in this set are five sermons. To Meekly Bear discusses how charity from God enables believers to respond to difficulties in such a way that not only strengthens their own faith but also illuminates the goodness of God to those who witness such a response. All True Grace breaks up the discussion slightly to hone in on the all consuming and lifelong changes of grace, which infiltrates everyday living after receiving Christ as Savior. The Sum of All Virtues goes over these same life-changing aspects of charity and expounds on why it is the greatest commandment. A World of Charity reveals how charity is the defining nature of Heaven and how the love of God experienced on Earth is the basis and experience of eternity. Finally, in Not to Be Overthrown, Edwards breaks down the true strength and everlasting nature of charity. No matter how evil the trials of this world become, charity is the believer’s greatest and most powerful weapon from God.

Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758) is considered one of America’s greatest theologians. While attending Yale College, he encountered the same Calvinism that had influenced his own Puritan upbringing.
Three years after Edwards was ordained as a minister, the First Great Awakening began in his church, which prompted Edwards to study conversion and revival within the context of Calvinism. During the revival, Edwards preached his most famous sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” and penned many of his most popular works, including Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God, A Treatise Concerning Religious Affections, and Life and Diary of the Rev. David Brainerd.
In 1757, Edwards reluctantly became president of the College of New Jersey (Princeton University), where he hoped to complete two major works—an expansion of his treatise on the history of redemption and a study of the harmony of the Old and New Testaments. The Works of Jonathan Edwards (26 vols.) is a massive collection containing five decades’ worth of study and scholarship on and from Edwards.
