Status Updates From Jonathan Edwards and Justif...

I’ve never hated a chapter of a book, then I encountered chapter 3 of this book. The writing lacked punctuation, clarity, and simplicity. Just because this is an Edwardsian scholarship piece doesn’t mean you’re writing should be Edwardsian. The jargon was so esoteric, it seemed like he was writing to impress ivory tower scholars rather than implicate social transformation for a popular educated audience.

"When Christ is raised from the dead, therefore, he is raised as the justified One, which entails both acquittance from guilt and acceptance of glory for his obedience. In faith, believers "partake with Christ in this his justification," (JE) not only in being found innocent by the judge, but in accepting his reward for themselves."

So far, this is a great volume.
