Few Christian leaders since the Reformation have been as gifted as Jonathan Edwards. A man of intense personal devotion to Christ, he was a leader of revival, and a creative Reformed theologian as well as being a missionary and a philosopher fully meriting Hugh Martin’s description of him as ‘that greatest of metaphysical divines’.

Yet it is likely that he would have preferred to be remembered simply as ‘pastor of the Church of Northampton’. Preached in 1738 (the same year that Edwards published A Narrative of Surprising Conversions), Charity and Its Fruits gives us an insight into his regular pulpit ministry in the years between the Northampton revival of 1735 and ‘the Great Awakening’ of 1740.

Entirely free from sentimentality this moving exposition of 1 Corinthians 13, like the better known Religious Affections, reveals Edwards’ insistence both that true Christian experience is ‘supernatural’- Spirit produced and Christ centered- and that ‘all true Christian grace tends to practice’. These sermons show how it is possible to steer between Arminianism on the one hand and Antinomianism on the other. The concluding chapter on heaven as a world of love is perhaps the most beautiful in all Edwards’s writings.

______________

Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758) was a pastor, theologian, and missionary. He is generally considered the greatest American theologian. A prolific writer, Edwards is known for his many sermons, including "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," and his classic A Treatise Concerning Religious Affections. Edwards was appointed president of the College of New Jersey (later renamed Princeton University) shortly before his death.

______________

It’s entirely appropriate that this book attracts the adjective ‘beautiful’. Jonathan Edwards is the sole truly Reformed theologian to take seriously the transcendental divine attribute of ‘beauty’. (Petrus Van Mastricht touches on the theme in contemplating the glory of God, in his Theoretical-Practical Theology; Karl Barth seems to have picked it up from him.) But it is Jonathan Edwards alone, among truly Reformed theologians, who integrated ‘beauty’ into the very fibre of his theological contemplation and consideration of the essential nature of God. Together with his recognition of God’s truth (dogmatics) and goodness (ethics), Edwards’ theological out-working of the theme of the divine attribute of ‘beauty’ (aesthetics) deserves our eternal gratitude. More than any other Reformed theologian, without any exceptions, Edwards, by including the attribute of ‘beauty’, shares with us the most comprehensive meditation we have been given by an uninspired author of the fullness of the glory of God. Only one other theologian, of equal ability, has developed the theme of ‘theological aesthetics’ at length: Hans Urs von Balthasar, (‘The Glory of the Lord’, in seven volumes; who, in many instances, unwittingly, closely echo Edwards). ‘Charity and Its Fruits’, would, without doubt, be my Desert Island choice of all Edwards’ works – a rare instance of a book that merits the description ‘heavenly’. (I’d have tucked ‘The Religious Affections’ into my sleeping bag!) Richard C Ross

It rusted already
Color: Black Standard
UPDATE. This is a couple of months old and it is rusting staining our counter top. Why in the world would they make a high usage product that will rust? Our kitchen got new counters and sink. I needed something to keep my soap and sponge in and this is perfect. Holds my dawn, my hand soap and sponge.

A nice kitchen sponge holder
I like this kitchen sponge holder , it easily holds two brushes and a dish soap or a hand soap bottle . Quality is sturdy and drains out the water . It’s a small compact holder so saves space . I have used it for some months now and don’t see any rust forming. Works well , worth buying.
