Theological Questions in Vol I of the Works - Edwards - I

Required reading

Theological Questions in Vol I of the Works by Jonathan Edwards - (Available from Amazon or free here) - Read Theological Questions

My summary

Today we simply read a list of 90 theological questions which I'm guessing were written by Edwards, not the editors of his Works.

The subject matter of the questions include:

(i) creation;

(ii) God's attributes;

(iii) the persons of God;

(iv) knowledge of God;

(v) decrees and covenants of God;

(vi) sin, including the fall;

(vii) redemption and atonement;

(viii) hell and heaven;

(ix) ecclesiology.

What grabbed me

Some of the questions are easy to answer, some are not so easy.  

But many are very important.  Including: 'Why was an atonement, and one so precious as the blood of Christ, necessary?'

You could spend a lifetime writing an answer and still not fully answer that one.
