Some Notes Concerning Affections and the Sublime in the Work of Jonathan Edward

Some notes on emotions and sublime works by Jonathan Edwards are related to his efforts to explain the separation of the body and soul and the spirit of resurrection in "great awakening". In both cases, the relationship between personal self-recognition and the relationship with the community is emphasized. Comparing Edwards' personal sentences with his public sentences clearly reveals the quest for a converting phenomenon.

Oh, I would like you to read the autographs of the sixth grace of "Emotions of grace and humiliation of evangelists" in Jonathan Edwards' religious sentiments. The heart of the true Bible saint and psychological exploration turns the most basic modern assertions about Christian self esteem into marshmallow chatter. This is one of the most beautiful scriptures I have read outside of the Bible. All kind emotions are a sweet smell of Christ, full of Christian soul, full of sweetness, fragility in the sky, sad feelings. True Christian love is humble and sad love regardless of whether it is for God or for people.

Edwards wrote many articles about revival and revival and his mature ideas were expressed in a paper on religious emotions (1746). In this work, he is exploring the essence of emotion. It may not necessarily be seen as a real sign of religious sentiment, and it is counted as a real sign. The twelfth and last signs of true religious sentiment are the result of life. Given the context, this makes it very bright. Edwards witnessed an incredible enthusiasm for Christ during the waking up. But then, that promise gradually disappeared, and Edwards became quite confused. For him, this is not just an academic question. He is a pastor who is paying deep and sustained attention to the mental state of the people he care. Through this experience, Edwards learned that Christian life is not a sprint but a marathon.

To regain the work of his missionary, David Blenard went to New England on May 28, 1747 and arrived at Jonathan Edwards' house in Northampton, Massachusetts. Edwards carefully recorded the last days of Brenard's life and noticed such last thing at his end. In the public worship, he lastly made a family prayer. According to George Marsden, Edwards said, "Bernard's family's prayers are wonderful, Brenard has found that even his prayers have returned to appreciate food," he said. Please write letters to him and give spiritual advice. "He talks to my young children," Edwards wrote, "Every one of us brings the Bible to the room." That nice book! I will soon see it open: the mystery and the mystery of the will of God will spread out. "
