Am I a true Christian?
Jonathan Edwards addresses this eternally significant question in a collection of eight sermons.
Born out of the religious fervor of the First Great Awakening, one of America’s most famous preachers exposes hypocrisy in the church while comforting true believers with Christ’s benefits.
Read The True Believer to discover what genuine Christianity looks like in a sea of “easy-believism” and “cheap grace.”
Sermons include:
1. Pardon for the Greatest of Sinners
2. True Grace Distinguished from the Experience of Devils
3. Hypocrites Deficient in the Duty of Prayer
4. A Warning to Professors of Religion
5. Christians a Chosen Generation, a Royal Priesthood, a Peculiar People
6. The Peace Which God Gives His True Followers
7. True Saints, when Absent from the Body, Are Present with the Lord
8. The Portion of the Righteous

Endorsement:
“Jonathan Edwards is known for the complexity of his thought. In these sermons, he brings that intellect to bear on the ‘simple’ truths of the gospel—repentance, faith, and assurance of God’s love. Many people know Edwards’s sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”; this collection of sermons extends our appreciation of Edwards’s ability to show the power and the beauty of the gospel to a needy world.”
—Stephen G. Myers, professor of systematic and historical theology, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan
