Beskrivning
A single volume collection of the extensive writings of the great 18th-century American theologian Jonathan Edwards on St Paul's Epistle to the Romans.Paul's epistle to the Romans is one of the most beloved writings in the entire biblical canon, especially for Augustinians and Protestants. It is the subject of thousands of commentaries, many by the most important doctors of the church: Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, Hodge, and Barth, to name a few. It offers the doctrines of sin, the gospel, and salvation in a nutshell. It is the basis for the structure of the first Protestant textbook in what later came to be categorized as systematic theology, Philip Melanchthon's Loci Communes (1521). It is a frequently-cited sourcebook of the Reformation solas, which teach that salvation comes by grace alone through faith alone because of the work of God through Christ alone. It is the site of the Romans road a standard tool for sharing the gospel used by myriad evangelists in the evangelical movement. It is a central text of scripture, in short, employed by many readers as a key to the whole Bible.Jonathan Edwards never published a major commentary on Romans. He did, however, preach about and write about Romans at numerous times throughout his life. Though he is highly regarded today as a great literary artist, natural scientist, philosopher and psychologist of religion, he was chiefly a biblical thinker, a minister of the Word. And inasmuch as he remains one of the most important thought leaders in all of Christian history, this new work, bringing together a major collection of his writings on the biblical book of Romans, will be a welcome one for many.

Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) is widely recognised as America's most important philosophical theologian. His highly original works display a deep appreciation of beauty and harmony in ethics, but are also rooted in Reformed theology and bear witness to his heritage of New England Puritanism. Indisputably an Enlightenment man, Edwards played a major role in shaping the First Great Awakening, which fostered a deeply personal sense of the individual's need of salvation by Christ.David S. Lovi holds a master's degree from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

"That Edward's comments on the Romans letter are now available in this handy format can be of benefit to preachers and interested laypersons [...] Edwards is [...] an amazing interpreter, head and shoulders above the rest in his time. He still speaks into many of today's issues through his prolific writings." -John Schuit, Emmanuel Bible College, in McMaster Journal of Theology and Ministry, Vol. 15 (2013-2014)"[T]here is no question that the volume is helpful in presenting Edwards as commentator [...] the preacher can at last have at his fingertips Edwards' insights into one of the most important - and challenging - books in the canon. For this, we are indebted."-William M. Schweitzer, Reviews in Religion & Theology, vol 22, issues 1, January 2015"This work is of specialist interest. ... It is perhaps more likely to be found on the bookshelves of reference libraries whose users have considerable interest in puritan or Calvinistic matters or biblical studies in that context. ... it is a work of which the accuracy is not likely to be challenged."-Donald A Bullen, Theological Book Review, volume 26, no 1, 2014"As there are few commentaries available from the first half of eighteenth century, the publication of this unique compilation is a welcome event. It may even contribute to contemporary debate on fundamental doctrines such as justification by faith, original sin, and covenant theology, among others."-J. Gaius Song, The Expository Times, Vol. 127 No. 8, May 2016
