The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

A Faithful Narrative of the Surprising Work of God is Jonathan Edwards' account of the revival that broke out in Northampton, Massachusetts and other nearby communities which was the start of what later became known as The Great Awakening (1734-43), also called the First Great Awakening. There is much we can learn from Edwards concerning the nature of genuine conversion and how God's Spirit works in awakening and converting sinners. A Faithful Narrative is reproduced here in the hopes that many people will benefit from the wisdom learned by Edwards, called the greatest evangelist ever to grace the American continent.Different editions of this book had different chapter divisions, but the same information. A few old words we no longer use have been replaced with their modern equivalent, the spelling of a few words have been updated such as to-day to today. And a few very long paragraphs have been made shorter by adding an indentation, otherwise the words and punctuation are the same as original.The final chapter is an account of his early religious experiences and conversion that was found among his papers at his death, and is supposed to have been written at Northampton, when he was about forty years of age. It is not found in all editions of this book, so it is great to have it in this 2019 edition.

In this book, religious historian Jonathan Yeager provides a narrative of the publishing history of Jonathan Edwards's works in the eighteenth century, including the various printers, booksellers, and editors responsible for producing and disseminating his writings in America, Britain, and continental Europe. In doing so, Yeager demonstrates how the printing, publishing, and editing of Edwards's works shaped society's understanding of him as an author and what the distribution of his works can tell us today about religious print culture in the eighteenth century.
