New Edwards book
March 3, 2010
Yale University Press has just released Jonathan Edwards's "Sinners in Hands of an Angry God": A Casebook, edited by Wilson Kimnach, Caleb Maskell, and Ken Minkema. The book has a great introduction, the text of the sermon, and selections from a wide variety of interpreters and commenters on Edwards and his sermon form the preaching of it right up to 2008, with a selection from Marilynne Robinson.
You can find out about the book on Yale University Press's website and at Amazon. You'll want to get this book.
At $14 (great price for a university press book) it's going quickly. Here's what I had to say about it:
This book offers an archaeological dig of America's most famous sermon, Edwards's "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." The original context and the deep layers of the sermon's life in American culture over the centuries are unfolded with precision and care, resulting in an ideal text for classroom use. If you want to understand Edwards and his famous sermon, this is the book.
