Jonathan Edwards In Easy English

Did you ever start a sermon by Jonathan Edwards but got stuck on the old English?

We got frustrated. We stopped reading. We couldn't uncover Edwards' insights on our own. 

We worked with a biblical scholar to translate a Jonathan Edwards sermon into easy-to-read English, just to see what it would be like. 

The eminent theologian NT Wright lauded it. "A great job of bringing what he [Jonathan Edwards] says into crisp and clear English."

High praise!

Another theologian said, "This literary resource opens the minds and hearts of pastors, theologians, and spiritually-minded people to the 'glory and excellency of Christ.'”

Now, it's available to you. 

We want you to be able to read Jonathan Edwards in easy English! 

What's inside

Inside are both versions of Jonathan Edwards' "A Divine and Supernatural Light" - one in easy English and one in the original text.

At the end of each paragraph in easy English is a link to the original paragraph, so you can compare. 

A lot of work went into making this easy to read - we're excited to share it with you!
