Here are 9 sermons on the Lord’s Supper, most of which have never been published before. In this collection, Edwards deals with the meaning of “communion.” He shows that this is a very sacred ordinance, and ought to be kept up in remembrance of Christ. He shows that the sacrament is a gospel feast, and requires a great deal of self-examination. Appendixed are 6 additional sermons, most of which have been unpublished until now. There are sermons on the glorious grace of the gospel, on the new birth, on the efficacy of the preached Word, on the necessity of personal holiness for those who would enter heaven, on the worthiness of Christ, and on the happiness of God.
