Crossway Interview on "Signs of the Spirit" (10)
Jun 17, 2007
Crossway: What one thing, if you had to choose, would you hope your readers will learn and apply from Edwards's Personal Narrative?
I think the one thing that stands out most to me in the Narrative is Edwards' grasp of the beauty of God and the importance of our enjoyment of it for his eternal glory. We use that word "beauty" a lot, but I'm not sure people know what it means. In the Narrative Edwards unpacks the term as he describes his experience of Christ and the impact it had on his struggle with sin and pride and other issues we all face.
