first edition of an important work of american theology. Edwards was the leading figure of the First Great Awakening, and this work was his defense of the movement while at its crest. More accessible to the modern reader than most early theological works, this book offers Edwards's insights on a wide variety of Great Awakening practices, with running titles such as "The Danger of Lying Still at Such a Time as This," "Of Preaching Terror to Distressed Consciences," "Of Being Righteous Over-Much," and "Singing in the Streets."
