The Works of Jonathan Edwards: Volume 4 continues a new edition of Edwards' magnificent Works in significantly larger print then the revered Banner of Truth edition. This edition also features increased margins for students who favor note-taking in the text itself. In "A Faithful Narrative," Edwards writes of God's "surprising work in the conversion of many souls." Edwards observes how God's Spirit moved in the towns of Northampton in the early 1700s. "An Humble Inquiry" relates Edwards' thoughts and scriptural observations on who the Church should admit to communion, and what requirements remain, if any. Edwards answers objections to this treatise in the last part of Volume 4, "Misrepresentations Corrected and Truth Vindicated," a book-length response to Solomon Williams' objections against "An Humble Inquiry." Volume 4 contains these three books: "A Faithful Narrative of The Surprising Work of God In the Conversion of Many Hundred Souls, In Northampton and the Neighbouring Towns and Villages of New Hampshire in New England, In A Letter to The Rev. Colman Of Boston," "An Humble Inquiry Into the Rules of The Word of God Concerning the Qualifications Requisite To A Complete Standing and Full Communion In the Visible Christian Church," and "Misrepresentations Corrected and Truth VindicatedIn A Reply to The Rev. Mr. Solomon Williams's Book, Entitled, THE TRUE STATE OF THE QUESTION CONCERNING THE QUALIFICATIONS NECESSARY TO LAWFUL COMMUNION IN THE CHRISTIAN SACRAMENTS." 10 point type, 1" outside margins. by Ted Cortez Publishing.

Interpreting the Great Awakening of the eighteenth century was in large part the work of Jonathan Edwards; whose writings on the subject defined the revival tradition in America. Moving from sensitive descriptions of "the Surprising work of God" in conversion to a consuming quest for the essence of true religion, and threading his way through mounting controversies over "errors in doctrine and disorders in practice," Edwards sought to locate an authentic core of evangelical experience, to define it in terms of biblical faith and psychological insight, and to defend it against both overheated zealous and rationalistic critics. The tracts that unfold his thoughts, presented here (with related correspondence ) for the first time in accurate critical texts, document a movement so significant for the American character that it has been called "our national conversion." In a carefully researched introduction, C.C. Goen identifies the "Arminian threat" to which the Northampton pastor responded at the onset of the Awakening, and traces Edwards' understanding of vital religion as it developed in the ambiguous context of revivalism. Mr. Goen's study also illuminates little-known aspects of A Faithful Narrative and describes the haphazard way in which that important work reached its eager audience. C.C. Goen, author of Revivalism and Separatism in New England, 1740-1800 (1962), is professor of church history at the Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C.
