A HISTORY OF THE WORK OF REDEMPTION
By Jonathan Edwards
Banner of Truth. 440 pages. £14.50
ISBN 0 85151 844 3

Recent years have seen a growing interest in biblical theology. Biblical theology traces the unfolding promises of God to show how the Bible presents one unified story of salvation.

The republication of this book on the 300th anniversary of Jonathan Edwards's birth is a welcome reminder that biblical theology did not begin with its other modern champions. Edwards was a leader during the Great Awakening and one of American's greatest theologians.
