NEW HAVEN, Conn. — The collected works of Jonathan Edwards, the 18th-century preacher and one of America’s most famous theologians, are now available for download thanks to Logos Bible Software. But for those who don’t want to cough up $1,289.95 to purchase them, they can be viewed online for free at edwards.yale.edu/ via The Jonathan Edwards Center at Yale Divinity School.
The colonial preacher was instrumental in America’s Great Awakening and is known for fiery sermons such as “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.”
The 26-volume collection, “The Works of Jonathan Edwards” comprises more than 10,000 sermons, articles and letters that were indexed from 1953 to 2008.
“Edwards is widely recognized as one of the most important American thinkers and religious figures and as a major figure in the history of Christian thought,” said Kenneth Minkema, executive director of Yale’s Jonathan Edwards Center.
According to Minkema, there are more than 4,000 books, articles, dissertations and other writings on Edwards.
