The church in Jonathan Edwards' day faced a temptation--losing its grasp on heaven and hell. To this church Edwards preached the likes of his most well-known sermon, Sinners in the hands of an angry God. Edwards was not a killjoy--then why? He loved his people deeply and wanted them to avoid wrath and taste eternal life. This book presents Edwards' material on the reality of the afterlife, the terror of hell, the glories of heaven, and the shape life must take in light of these truths.
