Gods Passion for His Glory contains the complete text of Jonathan Edwards The End for Which God Created the World, illumined by John Pipers enthralled and humble thoughts on this thesis. Two great Christian men, one of the greatest of contemporary Bible teachers, John Piper, and one of our great (if not the greatest) Bible teachers from American history, Jonathan Edwards, collaborate via the Holy Spirit to lift us ever closer to the Lord.
As in all of Pipers books, the format is simple, the wording understandable, and the depths profound. Divided into two sections, each part flows into the other, leading the reader upwards. In Part One, Piper explains why he decided to publish this book, looks at Edwards physical and spiritual life, and considers the impact Edwards has on modern evangelical Christianity. Part Two explains how Piper has prepared this thesis for the reader, suggests methods of reading, and takes a look at the particular edition Piper chose to use. Edwards The End for Which God Created the World then follows, replete with footnotes. Several effective indices conclude this volume. This in-depth look at the foundation of our passion for God is crucial reading. Pipers books are dedicated to leading us into ever-growing desire for God. Gods Passion for His Glory capably achieves this aim. This is a book to take your time reading. You'll find value in pausing now and then while reading to think, meditate, pray, and to wait before your Lord.
