Few voices in history have been used by God to stir a nation to revival like Jonathan Edwards. He was one of the most powerfully anointed preachers in that unstoppable wave of repentance and return to righteousness known as the First Great Awakening. He started, as many others to follow, in a small rural church, and through the fiery and unforgettable Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God (which is in this volume), his ministry sparked and the world was never the same.

Serving as the “catalyst” of the Pentecostal movement in the twentieth century, William J. Seymour turned a tiny former horse stable in Los Angeles into an international center of revival.

The theology shows no traces of heresy, nor does it sharply oppose any false doctrinal views. It lacks the dogmatic precision of a later age, but emphasizes rigid views of the relation of the sexes.

Today, affection for the Jewish people based on Romans 11 is thought to be an error rooted in the Post-war Consensus or Dispensationalism. But in this book Doug Wilson has assembled quotes from countless Reformed teachers, many untethered from the 20th century and its Left Behind series, each writing about what they believe the Bible really teaches about Romans 11. We must reject the mistakes made in 20th century theology. But we must not throw out our heritage as we do so.
