The Works of Jonathan Edwards, Volume 1: Freedom of the Will
Jonathan Edwards
CBD Price: $20.00
( Only 1 in stock - order soon! Additional quantities may be backordered. )
Yale University’s definitive, and formerly very expensive, The Works of Jonathan Edwards is now available in paperback for the first time, at a fraction of its previous retail price. Volume 1: Freedom of the Will is perhaps the greatest theological exposition by an American theologian, and one of the most important articulations of Calvinist/Reformed theology since John Calvin’s Institutes.
Crucial reading in a number of Academic disciplines, including, Theology, Reformed Theology, Church History, and American Christianity, this definitive text is accompanied by an outstanding introduction by Edwards’ authority Paul Ramsey which includes an analysis of Edwards’ work in this treatise, the religious climate in and around Boston during Edwards’ life and finally a historical and philosophical situating of Edwards in regard to his intellectual contemporaries, most especially Leibniz, Hume and Locke.

Library of Christian Classics - Alexandrian Christianity: Selected Translations of Clement and Origen
Clement of Alexandria, Origen
Retail Price: $39.95
CBD Price: $32.99
Buy 30 or more for $31.34 each.
( Only 2 in stock - order soon! Additional quantities may be backordered. )
This Volume in the Library of Christian Classics named Alexandrian Christianity covers the seminal writings of the great churchmen Clement of Alexandria, and the controversial theologian Origen. Titles include, On Marriage and On Spiritual Perfection (Clement), with selections from origin entitled, On Prayer, Exhortation to Martyrdom, and Dialogue with Heraclides (Origen).
Alexandria, one of the leading intellectual and cultural centers of the ancient world, also became the leading intellectual center of the church. Due to its excellent catechetical instruction Alexandria rose to prominence under Clement, and later reached its apex under Clement’s student Origen, and became, arguably, the most intellectually influential Christian center in the early church.
While Alexandria’s rise to prominence occurred for many reasons, there can be no doubt that its possession of the ancient world’s greatest library played a definitive role in shaping the culture and intellectual character of the Christianity that once lived there. Thus, the writings of these great theologians will not only inform the scholar seeking knowledge of the ancient church; they will also edify the lay reader who wants to understand better where and how our faith originated.
