I chose Edwards mainly because I have read him extensively and, as an American, I am thankful that we can claim him!

As for Edwards being hard to read; I remember thinking he was challenging when I first started reading his works, but I can honestly say that, (as encouragement for those of you who find it hard to read him, hang in there) the more you read the more tuned your mind will become to the writings of that period and it will become much much easier. He is well worth the effort.


Trust the past to God's mercy, the present to God's love and the future to God's providence." - St. Augustine
