<transcy>The History Of The Work Of Redemption (Histoire de l'oeuvre de la rédemption)</transcy>
The scope of the work of redemption is immense. Demonstrating a thorough knowledge of the scriptures, Jonathan Edwards examines God's redemptive work in history, from the fall of man until the end of the world. He draws this fascinating conclusion: from start to finish, everything that makes up human history is subject to Christ's work of redemption. Nothing can interfere with his work. On the contrary, God, in his wisdom, allows everything that happens to literally serve to make it progress.
Author
Jonathan Edwards was born in 1703 in the village of East Windsor, Connecticut. He is still considered one of America's greatest intellectuals to this day. He preached extensively on the balance between the faith of the heart and the reason. In his day, his sermons sparked a whole series of conversions and played a pivotal role in the "Great Awakening" in New England. Although little known in the Francophonie, his work is immense and his theology contains precious treasures.
