{"product_id":"9781575679273","title":"Jonathan Edwards on True Christianity","description":"What is a true Christian? What is the church? Though these are fundamental  questions they often go unanswered in our current evangelical context. Far too many  pastors and thinkers celebrate the trappings of faith and the mere benefits of Christianity,  ignoring the biblical testimony on true conversion that shouts from countless texts  from Scripture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis has fed an age-old problem: nominal Christianity.  Though Edwards is sometimes presented as a scourge, a mean-hearted parson who lived  to belt out thunderous damnations, a careful study of the historical record and  of Edwards’ writings shows that he was in fact a Christian man devoted to  the cultivation of true and saving faith in a spiritually fickle people he tenaciously  loved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe problem of noncommittal Christianity did not end with Edwards.  It not only survives but thrives in the current day. In studying it then, we are  studying ourselves. We see that nominal Christianity, a considerable challenge today,  has historic roots. We need not face this problem alone, growing more discouraged  by the day, flailing as we try method after method to address the problem. Instead,  we can find solace, instruction, and encouragement from the biblically saturated  life and ministry of Jonathan Edwards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEasily accessible and readable,  you do not need to be a scholar to enjoy these insights about Jonathan Edwards and  his writings.","brand":"Moody Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147155652848,"sku":"9781575679273","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781575679273_p0.jpg?v=1763793048","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781575679273","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
