A History of the Work of Redemption

The scope of Jonathan Edwards' A History of the Work of Redemption is vast. From a deep, extensive knowledge of Scripture, Edwards sets out to survey the whole of the redemptive work of God in history, from the Fall of man to the consummation of all things.

A thrilling conclusion emerges: everything in human history from start to finish is subservient to Christ's work of redemption. Not only can nothing thwart that work, but, in the wisdom of God, all that comes to pass actually serves to advance it. Originally a series of thirty sermons preached in Northampton, New England, in 1739, this volume lets readers catch Edwards's vision of the mighty advance of the cause of Christ in the world.
