Entirely free from sentimentality, this moving exposition of 1 Corinthians 13 reveals Edwards’s insistence both that true Christian experience is “supernatural” – Spirit-produced and Christ-centered – and that “all true Christian grace tends to practice.” These sermons show how it is possible to steer between Arminianism on the one hand and Antinomianism on the other. The concluding chapter on heaven as a world of love is perhaps the most beautiful in all Edwards’s writing.
