- The Puritan movement culminated toward the beginning of the eighteenth century with the life and thought of the man universally regarded as the greatest of the Puritan divines, Jonathan Edwards. Though best known for his sermon, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, Edwards was actually a genius of ranging intellect whose contribution to theology and philosohy continue to engage scholarly interest to the present day. He was, however, much more than a great thinker, and his passion for and keen observation of the work of the Spirit of God have served to encourage and instruct students of the Christian faith, and undoubtedly will continue to do so for centuries to come.
Probably one of the best religious historian in the USA.
Thanks for such generous feedback!
It is so wonderful to learn this religious history. When we study history in school, we focus primarily on political figures or warriors. But often these religious scholars are far more influential though not well known.
Thank you Sir for this chanel. I listen to you every day. I'm from Romania. Gods speed.
Blessing to you as well, my friend. Thank you!
just discovered this channel, this is the best bible teaching channel Ive ever found, focused upon teaching and not pushing a single agenta.
Thank you!
You should check out Hemstrought also 👍👍👍
I just discovered the Prof last week. Totally agree. We should be sharing far and wide
@@evmikewilliams9021 how xan you compare Prof Bruse with that dispensationist heretic. You have zero discernment with itching ears
@@jimdee9801
Your comment makes no sense. I didn't compare anyone 🤷♂️
Amazing lecture on an amazing man.
This guy is way too good at teaching it is just unspeakable. I'm not sure if someone should be so good at teaching as this guy. Bruce Gore if your reading this then to you i say this: You have a gift sir. I have been studying the bible for about 15 years and I have taught it. Currently going to school for a theology degree, But I would have to say that none other have i heard with such zeal for this history of the church. You remind me of teaching from a Jay Gresham Machen type of style. With great joy you have a God given gift. Dont waste it but use it and please dont stop teaching this way.
Thomas Chacon I'm honored to be compared to one of my heroes, J. Gresham Machen. Thanks for your kind remarks!
I started to share Bruce lectures on ACLA FB side (American Clergy Leaders Alliance)
Thank you!
Love these lectures.❤
What an indescribably glorious testimony that Edwards submits unto the majestically regal nature of God Himself. This is the first time that I've seen these Edwards quotes and they have bent my heart in such a way as I felt at the birth of my salvation. My eyes are swelling and my heart has such a convulsion that it makes me quiver at the eloquence of the "Resolutions" that Edwards captures of the awe of Yahweh/Yeshua. My heart has actually grown callused from the defense of the constant barrage of atheist attacks all over the NET. They are to be pitied, and as such is the reason for the necessity of missions to the world. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series of narratives of the men that God has chosen in history to proclaim His Gospel. This is so wonderfully stated in Acts 18:9-10 when God said to Paul:
9 Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent;
10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; FOR I HAVE MANY PEOPLE IN THIS CITY.
Edwards is still being heard in 2014 and beyond!
Thanks for such thoughtful remarks! My sincere hope is that Edwards will be discovered and rediscovered in the next two to three hundred years, as much of his genius remains unknown to the people who should be most appreciating it!
I just downloaded the book, A divine and supernatural light .
Thank you ,Bruce for that info.
The book is fantastic,new insight for me.
Great work your doing.
Edwards always provides good food for the soul! Thanks for the feedback.
Jeremiah 20:9
But if I say, “I will not remember Him
Or speak anymore in His name,”
Then in my heart it becomes like a burning fire
Shut up in my bones;
And I am weary of holding it in,
And I cannot endure it.
Wow what an eye opener
Getting back into this series. I’ve been listening to John Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion on LibriVox lately. Thanks for suggesting it. It’s so long and in depth.
It’s great to learn of Jonathan Edwards more now. My former Pastor taught a sermon on the sinners in the hands of an angry God sermon before.
amen to the last statement , enough with the sinner centered Gospel and lets back to what the word says GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM meaning Jesus is KING!
Couldn't agree more! Thanks.
and still ...... my total favorite comment of yours still is "and Nineveh went dark"
Wow! ...I'll try to remember that! As always, thanks for your kind encouragement.
Bruce 'Alright' Gore laying down that knowledge like a master mason.
Your teaching is so profound. I respect you. Yet, I don't understand how so many details of Edwards can be discussed without the highly significant and controversial fact of his slave owning and being a proponent thereof.
Yes, I grant it is an inconsistency, and Edwards himself voiced his conflicted thoughts at times. For what it's worth, Edwards' son (Jonathan Edwards, Jr.) became one of the most powerful anti-slavery voices in the colonies in the pre-revolutionary era. He attributed his understanding to the theology of his father. Thanks for the feedback.
There's a dump in Stockbridge, MA that is closed on Thanksgiving
I understand as Calvin and Edwards
Period
On the thumbnail to this site it goes from pre revolutionary America and intellectual giants ,then on the next thumbnail how the college students of today's America cannot tell the time from an annolg clock ,how things have improved!!!!!!!
In public schools the teacher make this guy look bad like god is this monster
🙏
The more I hear about Edwards, the more I like him. My high school wasn’t fair to him. We read excerpts of “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.” Edwards was portrayed as a psychopath who didn’t care that people were in severe stress or committing suicide. As a result I had a poor view of him for some time.
Your experience is very common. Thanks for the feedback!
According to Calvinism you cannot reject Gods grace. It is irresistible. Besides how can a dead man reject anything, or respond in any way since he is dead.
I really do not understand how Calvinist cannot see this contradiction.
Thanks for the clarification!
