El amor y sus frutos: Viviendo a la luz del amor de Dios
Jonathan Edwards se esmeró en ilustrar cómo debe vivirse y ejercerse el amor en la vida cuando expuso 1 Corintios 13. Insiste en que la verdadera experiencia cristiana es “sobrenatural” -producida por el Espíritu y centrada en Cristo- y que “toda la verdadera gracia cristiana tiende a la práctica”, y que el amor no es solo una virtud cristiana, sino aquella que da vida a todas las demás.
Este libro representa una de sus obras más importantes, la mezcla perfecta de doctrina y aplicación sobre el tema más importante, el amor cristiano. Esta edición corresponde a la edición original, sin abreviar, y por primera vez disponible en español. Contiene además una introducción y notas de estudio por el Dr. Kyle Strobel, uno de los eruditos más reconocidos en estudios sobre Jonathan Edwards.
El amor y sus frutos ocupa un lugar especial en mi afecto por Edwards. El tratamiento de Edwards de “El amor no busca lo suyo” formó profundamente mi teología. Además, el último capítulo, “El cielo es un mundo de amor”, es simplemente insuperable en su poder para hacerme querer ir allí. Mi amor por Jonathan Edwards y la grandeza de su Dios es inquebrantable.

Para Jonathan Edwards, la verdadera comprensión puritana del cristianismo como vida amorosa en Dios a través de Cristo fue un enfoque teológico-pastoral-devocional de toda la vida, y su más completa muestra de ello se encuentra aquí. Los comentarios de Kyle Strobel en esta obra nos ayudan a apreciar este clásico sobre la comunión con Dios.

Esta edición de El amor y sus frutos es una adición muy bienvenida a la creciente biblioteca de libros por y sobre el gran Jonathan Edwards. Para aquellos que piensan erróneamente que los teólogos protestantes sobreenfatizan la fe a expensas del amor, estos sermones clásicos de Edwards serán un antídoto para un estereotipo. Pero aún más importante, esta profunda minería de 1 Corintios 13 es un camino hacia la teología espiritual que acercará a cada creyente a Cristo.

Jonathan Edwards was the most eminent American philosopher-theologian of his time, and a key figure in what has come to be called the First Great Awakening of the 1730s and 1740s.
The only son in a family of eleven children, he entered Yale in September, 1716 when he was not yet thirteen and graduated four years later (1720) as valedictorian. He received his Masters three years later. As a youth, Edwards was unable to accept the Calvinist sovereignty of God. However, in 1721 he came to what he called a "delightful conviction" though meditation on 1 Timothy 1:17. From that point on, Edwards delighted in the sovereignty of God. Edwards later recognized this as his conversion to Christ.
In 1727 he was ordained minister at Northampton and assistant to his maternal grandfather, Solomon Stoddard. He was a student minister, not a visiting pastor, his rule being thirteen hours of study a day. In the same year, he married Sarah Pierpont, then age seventeen, daughter of Yale founder James Pierpont (1659–1714). In total, Jonathan and Sarah had eleven children.
Stoddard died on February 11th, 1729, leaving to his grandson the difficult task of the sole ministerial charge of one of the largest and wealthiest congregations in the colony. Throughout his time in Northampton his preaching brought remarkable religious revivals.
Yet, tensions flamed as Edwards would not continue his grandfather's practice of open communion. Stoddard believed that communion was a "converting ordinance." Surrounding congregations had been convinced of this, and as Edwards became more convinced that this was harmful, his public disagreement with the idea caused his dismissal in 1750.
Edwards then moved to Stockbridge, Massachusetts, then a frontier settlement, where he ministered to a small congregation and served as missionary to the Housatonic Indians. There, having more time for study and writing, he completed his celebrated work, The Freedom of the Will (1754).
Edwards was elected president of the College of New Jersey (later Princeton University) in early 1758. He was a popular choice, for he had been a friend of the College since its inception. He died of fever at the age of fifty-four following experimental inoculation for smallpox and was buried in the President's Lot in the Princeton cemetery beside his son-in-law, Aaron Burr.
