Lecture Title - The Theocentric Vision of Jonathan Edwards: A Hands-On Guide for Pastors
“He was pouring in a flood of light upon mankind, which their eyes, as yet, were too feeble to bear.” Edwards’ vision of a substantively, radically, theocentric universe provides us with hands-on tools for contemporary apologetics, pastoral counsel, and theological engagement in ecclesia and academia. “In this age of light and inquiry” we too need to see that “there is not nor ever will be any man in the world Enlightened but by Jesus,” so to free us from a “selfie” age to a God-centered life.
Josh Moody (PhD University of Cambridge) is Senior Pastor of College Church. He is author or editor of many books, including Jonathan Edwards and the Enlightenment: Knowing the Presence of God (University Press of America, 2005), Jonathan Edwards and Justification (Crossway, 2012), and Burning Hearts: Preaching to the Affections (Christian Focus, 2014).
The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church. It houses a cluster of initiatives, each of which is aimed at applying practical Christian wisdom to important kingdom issues-for the good of the church, for the soul of the theological academy, for the sake of the world, and ultimately for the glory of God. The HCTU seeks to ground each of these initiatives in Scripture, and it pursues these goals collaboratively, in order to train a new generation of wise interpreters of the Word-lay persons and scholars alike-for the sake of tomorrow’s church, academy, and world.
