Jonathan Edwards: A Guided Tour of His Life and Thought
Jonathan Edwards has had a lasting impact on the church in North America, as well as around the world. Martin Lloyd-Jones exhorts us "to capture and lay hold upon [Edwards’s] greatest emphasis—the glory of God." In Jonathan Edwards: A Guided Tour of His Life and Thought, Stephen J. Nichols helps us to do just that by presenting a clear summary of the major themes in Edwards’s thought set against the background of his life. Nichols provides readers with an overview of not only Edwards’s life, but also of his writings on revival and church life, works of theology and philosophy, and his sermons. This biographical approach is a good place to begin, and a helpful addition to any library. This book is easily accessible even to those who knew nothing of Edwards when they began.

J. Gresham Machen was the foremost defender of evangelical Christianity in America until his untimely death in 1937. The author, Dr. Ned Stonehouse, was a close friend of Dr. Machen, having studied under him at Princeton Seminary and later taught with him at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia.
