Those are inspiring, convicting, and beautiful all at once! I especially like it that Jonathan Edwards clearly valued action (#6). No passive Christianity for him...and see what he accomplished!

Jonathan Edwards was simply amazing. Every Christian should take a serious look at how he truely lived for Christ.

I've developed a habit of reading Edward's resolutions at least once a month. It really helps you to focus on what is really important.

I read some/all of these resolutions in Piper's book and was greatly encouraged by them. Thanks for posting them here. I won't be removing them from my Google Sidebar for quite a while! ;)

Viva Edwards!

...I am writing in a library just down the hall from one of his firs classrooms and the Jonathan Edwards Center, the world's largest repository of his works and archived personal material. I HIGHLY recommend that anyone interested in Edwards check out the Center's new website (Jonathan Edwards Online) and the brand- new book on Edwards which one of my friends recently co-edited... ("Jonathan Edwards at 300 : Essays on the Tercentenary of His Birth")

... of special interest to rebelutionaries might be the fact that this godly co-editor is only in his early twenties! (I link to his blog at my blog-)

MM: Who is this young co-editor? Would you mind emailing us the link to his blog?

MM: Thanks for the recommendation, MM. I'm actually already a beta tester for JEO, and looking forward to when it goes live.

Alex, good for you! - exciting stuff, no? Brett, I will get info to you ASAP. In the meantime, you will find the blog mentioned under "180 Colony" in my sidebar. I notice that it has not been updated in some time- probably due to the book itself...:/

Bravo! I love Jonathan Edwards--he's probably my biggest hero. Just the fact that he was homeschooled by his dad even though there were nine or ten other children AND got into Harvard at 11 is pretty amazing. I'm so glad he put his amazing intellect to work for the Great Awakening. He would have made quite a formidable opponent.
