Few figures in American church history have been as influential as Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758), yet many know him only through his sermon Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God. In this conversation, Dr. Matthew Everhard explains how much more there is to Edwards’ life and theology.

Everhard is a pastor, professor, Jonathan Edwards scholar, and he's the General Editor of the new Jonathan Edwards Study Bible from Thomas Nelson.

We explore Edwards' life, his theology, and why his writings continue to benefit Christians today. Matthew also takes us behind the scenes of the new Jonathan Edwards study Bible, explaining how a team of scholars worked through Edwards' extensive sermons, notebooks, and biblical reflections to bring his insights into a resource for modern readers.

Along the way, we discuss Edwards' unique note-taking system, his remarkable devotion to studying Scripture, and what ordinary Christians can learn from his example.

Whether you're new to Jonathan Edwards or have read his works for years, this conversation offers a fresh appreciation for his life, theology, and enduring legacy.
