Required reading
Memoirs of Jonathan Edwards in Volume I of the Works by Jonathan Edwards (Available from Amazon or free here) - Read Chapter 3.
My summary
Today we particularly learn about Edwards' early writings, including his:
(i) Miscellanies (short articles of spiritual subjects);
(ii) Notes on the Scriptures (investigations of difficult scriptures);
(iii) Resolutions (the full text is provided of those things he resolved to do for the rest of his life).
What grabbed me
Edwards' resolutions are always worth reading.
I find it helpful to look ones to apply in my own life.
Such as number 17: 'Resolved, that I will live so as I shall wish I had done when I come to die.'
If only we all lived with such a perspective!
Next week's reading
Read Chapter 4.
