Inhaltsangabe

Though rarely asked today, the question of why God created the world captured the thought and imagination of Jonathan Edwards, one of history's most profound thinkers. Using both reason and Scripture, Edwards determined that God created the world primarily as an arena for his eternal and innate glory to flow outward like a fountain and for his emanating glory to be received, praised, and enjoyed by the creatures he made. How he arrives at this answer is an amazing, worship-inducing journey. This version of Edward's classic treatise is a modern English paraphrase, designed to allow readers to meditate on the ideas Edwards illuminates rather than unraveling his long, dense sentences.
