Features: The Protestant Church has made outstanding contributions to Western modernization. This series introduces the lives of prominent Protestant figures, the religious movements they represented, and their historical backgrounds, praying that their spirits will inspire us and bring profound blessings. Jonathan Edwards, a renowned scholar-pastor in Christian history, America's greatest theologian, and the spark of the second Great Awakening in America, served as the President of Princeton University. This book is the first complete biography of Edwards in China, fully documenting his life of service and exploration. In today's Chinese church, there is a need to promote the devout spiritual tradition and also to be inspired by the great figures of history. This book is part of the series on prominent Protestant figures, and it is believed that it will help Chinese Christians better understand those great eras. The appendix includes excerpts from the Hong Kong Christian Literature Publishing House's edition of Jonathan Edwards, featuring his own accounts, diaries, and some of his famous sermons, including the most well-known The Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.
