The Great Awakening: Jonathan Edwards with Stephen Nichols

Summary

The sermon discusses Jonathan Edwards' early ministry and his Harvard commencement address, "God Glorified in Man's Dependence," which emphasized Calvinistic doctrines of grace entirely from God. It also details Edwards' meticulous sermon preparation and memorization process, noting how George Whitefield's dynamic preaching style later influenced him. The takeaway highlights the Puritan belief that salvation is God's work for His glory, not human achievement.
