The True Believer
The True Believer
What are the marks of a true believer? Jonathan Edwards addresses this eternally significant question in a collection of eight sermons. Born out of the religious fervor of the First Great Awakening, Edwards exposes hypocrisy in the church while comforting true believers with Christ’s benefits. Find out what genuine Christianity looks like in this new Soli Deo Gloria Publications release.
Endorsement
“Jonathan Edwards is known for the complexity of his thought. In these sermons, he brings that intellect to bear on the ‘simple’ truths of the gospel—repentance, faith, and assurance of God’s love. Many people know Edwards’s sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”; this collection of sermons extends our appreciation of Edwards’s ability to show the power and the beauty of the gospel to a needy world.”
—Stephen G. Myers, professor of systematic and historical theology, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan
