“Christians wanting to dip into Edwards’s daunting prose but seeking expert help in doing so will find it in this book. The tour guides are clear, edifying, and reliable. They don’t discuss all of Edwards’s massive body of work, but they treat most of his greatest hits—and do so in the service of what Edwards, quoting James, called ‘true religion.’” Douglas A. Sweeney, Dean, Professor of Divinity, Beeson Divinity School
