This new study of Edwards’ experience and vindication of revival is rich in historical context, primary source material, and footnotes (which I love), but also spiritual lessons for today. It is eminently readable and I am extremely happy to commend it as an extremely helpful precis of Edwards’ involvement in the Great Awakening.”\u003cbr\u003e—Michael Haykin, Chair \u0026amp; Professor of Church History The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“This is an excellent book on an excellent topic: Jonathan Edwards’s defense of true revival. Kurt Smith combines fascinating history with sound doctrine to sketch the controversy surrounding the Great Awakening and how Edwards responded with biblical wisdom. Smith also includes illuminating selections from Edwards’s sermons and personal letters. May God use this book to teach us about His mighty works in the past, to help us to exercise discernment about claims to revival in the present, and to move us to pray for revival in the future.”\u003cbr\u003e—Dr. Joel R.
