Overview

Of the many good gifts the Lord has given his church on earth, none exceeds that of his love. The things of this earth are temporary, but “love never ends” (1 Cor. 13:8)—it is a present taste of future glory, made available through communion with the Holy Spirit. In this classic work, Heaven Is a World of Love, New England pastor Jonathan Edwards encourages Christians struggling through the imperfect life here on earth to experience the perfect love of God through an exposition of the biblical foundations for the cause of God’s love, the objects of God’s love, the enjoyment of God’s love, and the fruits of God’s love. Each page of pastoral insight will leave readers hungry to experience more of God.

Jonathan Edwards

Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758) is considered one of America’s greatest theologians. While attending Yale College, he encountered the same Calvinism that had influenced his own Puritan upbringing.

Three years after Edwards was ordained as a minister, the First Great Awakening began in his church, which prompted Edwards to study conversion and revival within the context of Calvinism. During the revival, Edwards preached his most famous sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” and penned many of his most popular works, including Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God, A Treatise Concerning Religious Affections, and Life and Diary of the Rev. David Brainerd.

In 1757, Edwards reluctantly became president of the College of New Jersey (Princeton University), where he hoped to complete two major works—an expansion of his treatise on the history of redemption and a study of the harmony of the Old and New Testaments. The Works of Jonathan Edwards (26 vols.) is a massive collection containing five decades’ worth of study and scholarship on and from Edwards.

    Sadly, I didn’t enjoy this short book as much as I expected I would. I think that 30+ years ago I would’ve enjoyed it more, but I really believe that Christianity is far more about bringing Heaven to Earth (and experiencing that in Worship, Baptism and Holy Communion, as well as in following Jesus’ commands both in deed and word), then of “getting into Heaven”. I have also been more influenced by Luther’s approach of leaving the Heavenly things alone, and concentrating more on what God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - reveal of Himself through the Cross and the Resurrection (and Ascension!). Don’t get me wrong - this book is an easy read, and I do quite like its devotional approach - and I don’t necessarily disagree with Edwards, but this was just “too much Heaven” for me ;-)
