Holy Living: Jonathan Edwardss Seventy Resolutions for Living the Christian Life: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Holy Living: Jonathan Edwardss Seventy Resolutions for Living the Christian Life" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

In Holy Living, author Matthew Everhard explores the resolutions Jonathan Edwards wrote when he was just nineteen years old, revealing how they are still beneficial to Christians today.
Though not yet ordained, Edwards (1703-1758) wrote these short but powerful aphorisms to guide his life, and now they offer spiritual guidance to a modern audience as well. Following a brief biography of Edwards, the book then looks at each resolution under three main categories: (1) existential (considering the purpose of life); (2) ethical (considering the duty and character of the Christian); and (3) eschatological (preparing for the brevity of life followed by death and eternity). Lay readers, pastors, students, church elders, and study group members will find troves of timeless wisdom and guidance for how to live the Christian life.
The book is divided into five sections:
  • An Introduction to the Life of Jonathan Edwards
  • The Meaning and Purpose of Life
  • How Should We Then Live?
  • The Brevity of Life and Eternal World to Come
  • Why Did Jonathan Edwards Stop Using the Resolutions?
  • It includes the following topics:
  • Edwardss Youth and Conversion to Christ
  • The Early Pastoral Years
  • The Writing of the Resolutions
  • Faith and Assurance
  • Peace Relationships and Self-Control
  • The Brevity of Life
  • Heaven and Hell
  • Between Antinomianism and Legalism
  • Reflections of a More Mature Saint
  • Resolutions and the Gospel of Grace

    Acknowledgments

    I would like to thank a number of people for helping me on this project. First, I would like to thank Hendrickson Publishers this opportunity to share my gleanings of Edwardss Seventy Resolutions with a broader audience. Thanks especially to Dr. Jonathan Kline, Hendricksons academic editor, for working with me through the acquisition process.

    Second, I would like to express my most sincere thanks to Patricia Anders, editorial director at Hendrickson, who took a rough draft and made it far more readable with her careful and diligent help. Thanks also to assistant editor Marco Antunes for his helpful work on the book. Of course, any remaining faults here are my own.

    Third, I would like to thank the elders of Gospel Fellowship PCA, the church I serve as pastor. I hope that all of my writing projects are an extension of our local churchs witness of Christs love to the world.

    Fourth, I would like to thank my three childrenSoriah, Elijah, and Simonefor bringing such joy into my life. I love you all.

    Finally, I want to express my love for my wife Kelly. We have had more than twenty years together now and only an eternity together will be enough.

    An Introduction to the Life of Jonathan Edwards
    An Overview of Edwardss Life

    The history of the world is the story of billions of regular people with just a smattering of geniuses and uniquely gifted people mixed in. A true genius comes around only every hundred years or so. A genius is a person with an extraordinary mind who leaves his or her indelible mark in at least one significant area of human thought; perhaps in philosophy, literature, science, art, mathematics, theology, film, or choreography. Rarer still are those sprinklings of people who come around every millennium or so and contribute markedly to multiple fields. Da Vinci was one such genius: he was an extraordinary painter, sculptor, inventor, and architect. About this creator of such masterpieces as the Mona Lisa and TheLast Supper, it was said that he could write in Greek with one hand and in Latin with the other. Or if he preferred, Da Vinci could sketch a new inventive design with his right hand and take notes on the same project with the other. Indeed, there are really very few genuinely remarkable people!

    Jonathan Edwards (170358) was in that small handful of one-in-a-million people.

    If the hallmark of such extraordinary lives is that these people impacted not just one field of human knowledge but
