The Works of Johnathan Edwards Volume 2: Religious Affections
Connecticut: Yale University Press, 1959. Reprint. Hardcover. Black cloth spine with gilt entitlement and yellow paper boards. A Treatise concerning Religious affections in Three Parts. AI overview, " Published in 1746 amid the controversial Great Awakening revivals, the work addresses the critical question of how to distinguish genuine piety and spiritual transformation from mere emotional excitement or "lifeless morality". Edwards argued that both cold rationalism (religion as mere good conduct and doctrine) and uncontrolled emotionalism (seeking sensational effects) were wrong. He proposed instead that authentic faith is an integrated approach where the mind's understanding of divine truth kindles the "affections" (the vigorous exercises of the will or heart), motivating sincere action." 345pp. Yellow dustjacket.
