Reading Religious Affections – a Study Guide to Jonathan Edwards’ Classic

“Have you ever put abook down and thought, ‘Wow, that’s deep. I wish I had a friend who could walk me through this book and explain it point by point’? Craig Biehl has done precisely that. Furthermore, he has done it for one of the most important books ever written: ‘Religious Affections’. No one since the apostles had more insight into authentic godliness than Jonathan Edwards. But his books can be difficult to read. Biehl’s study guide helps you to understand the historical situation of Edwards’s day. It walks you through Edwards’s teachings in easy-to-follow outlines mingled with choice quotes from Edwards. After each section he presents several questions for personal meditation or small group discussion. I regularly assign ‘Religious Affections’ to my students and heartily recommend Biehl’s book as a companion to all who would read, understand, and apply Edwards’s masterpiece.” –Dr. Joel R.
