The Preaching of Jonathan Edwards

Dr. John Carrick will be our guest as we discuss his book The Preaching of Jonathan Edwards. Dr. Carrick is professor of Homiletics at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Information: Dr Carrick demonstrates that Edwards was preaching and writing at a unique moment in history when the Puritan spirit and the spirit of the Enlightenment intersected; he traces the remarkable fall and rise of interest in the great American preacher-theologian in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; he interacts, both positively and critically, with the now complete Yale edition of Edwards’ Works and also with the ever burgeoning field of Edwards scholarship; and he cites extensively from Edwards’ sermons, treatises, and Miscellanies in order to demonstrate the power and the profundity of his preaching and thought.
