Foundations of Anglican Evangelicalism in Victoria

History & Biography

“To know your story is to understand where you come from and where you are headed. No wonder evangelical Anglicans in Victoria struggle with their identity, because their story is often neglected or entirely misunderstood. Thankfully, Wei-Han Kuan recounts our early history to remind us of those moments when our networks achieved some alignment and our proclamation bore significant fruit. The gospel’s advance in Victoria is an extraordinary tale of courage, clarity, and conviction. Read this book and rejoice.”

Reading Jonathan Edwards

History & Biography

“Vertiginous and voluminous. Just reading the introduction to this sizable and updated book made me dizzy! As an Edwards scholar, I like to think I am aware of recent work in the field, but the labor of the editors to prepare this material for publication is truly remarkable. Why would anyone start anywhere else in their Edwardsian research?”

Sermons by Jonathan Edwards on the Epistle to the Galatians

History & Biography

“Often in history, the Epistle to the Galatians has functioned as a mirror to expose the state of the church. No less in Edwards's sermons on Galatians. We discover the context of Edwards's ministry aspirations and learn of his views of Luther, the Reformed tradition, Biblical theology, and perceived Arminian threats. Edwards's passionate appeals and exasperated responses to cooling revivalist fervor lie close to the surface, not unlike Paul's own responses to the Galatian believers. Whether for the church or the individual, herein lies profitable reading.”

Sermons by Jonathan Edwards on the Matthean Parables, Volume III

History & Biography

“Often overlooked, Matthew's gospel is a resource the church can't afford to neglect. We can be thankful then to the Jonathan Edwards Center at Yale for publishing for the first time Edwards's sermons on the parable of the Net. They provide a fine introduction to Edwards's skills in preaching, and pithy summaries of his theological priorities. We find here the big ideas of the Religious Affections, but preached in direct and simple language.”

The Future of Orthodox Anglicanism

Theology

“In The Future of Orthodox Anglicanism you will hear scholarly voices, perspectives from the majority world, viewpoints from ministry practitioners, and encouragement from leaders of other denominations, spoken with great conviction of the gift that Anglicanism is to the worldwide church. The writers’ historical reflection and engagement with contemporary concerns serve up a feast for those new to Anglican life and for those of us who love the old ship despite its barnacles.”

The Wartime Sermons of Jonathan Edwards

Preaching & Worship

“In this volume, a window is thrown open to provide light on a trail of Edwards’s thought so easily missed. His musings on the nature of war, refracted through the pastoral concerns of a variety of sermons, illuminate the development of Edwards’s mind as well as the vicissitudes of imperial conflict. A fresh way to engage with Edwards is combined here with fresh insights into his social ethics. A great contribution to color in Edwards’s complex world.”

To Understand Things as Well as Words

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Ideas make a difference in the world. Ideas presented as stories help us to glimpse a life worth living. And for Christians, ideas communicated through sermons, sacraments, schools, and sensations have become leading strategies of spiritual growth in the modern world. Jonathan Edwards exemplifies them all and sets them within his bigger educational agenda, which this book expounds so judiciously, in a thorough, discerning, and edifying way.”

Whitefield on the Christian Life

Christian Living

“By examining occasional writings like sermons and letters, Schwanda and Maddock distill Whitefield’s understanding of the spiritual life and present to us the abiding themes of Christian experience celebrated in the midst of Whitefield’s peripatetic ministry. Along with crisp prose and thoughtful structure, we encounter in this book refreshment and inspiration for our own walks with the Lord.”
