Few Christian leaders since the Reformation have been as gifted as Jonathan Edwards. A man of intense personal devotion to Christ, he was a leader of revival, and a creative Reformed theologian as well as being a missionary and a philosopher fully meriting Hugh Martin’s description of him as ‘that greatest of metaphysical divines’.

Yet it is likely that he would have preferred to be remembered simply as ‘pastor of the Church of Northampton’. Preached in 1738 (the same year that Edwards published A Narrative of Surprising Conversions), Charity and Its Fruits gives us an insight into his regular pulpit ministry in the years between the Northampton revival of 1735 and ‘the Great Awakening’ of 1740.

Entirely free from sentimentality this moving exposition of 1 Corinthians 13, like the better known Religious Affections, reveals Edwards’ insistence both that true Christian experience is ‘supernatural’- Spirit produced and Christ centered- and that ‘all true Christian grace tends to practice’. These sermons show how it is possible to steer between Arminianism on the one hand and Antinomianism on the other. The concluding chapter on heaven as a world of love is perhaps the most beautiful in all Edwards’s writings.

______________

Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758) was a pastor, theologian, and missionary. He is generally considered the greatest American theologian. A prolific writer, Edwards is known for his many sermons, including "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," and his classic A Treatise Concerning Religious Affections. Edwards was appointed president of the College of New Jersey (later renamed Princeton University) shortly before his death.

______________

It’s entirely appropriate that this book attracts the adjective ‘beautiful’. Jonathan Edwards is the sole truly Reformed theologian to take seriously the transcendental divine attribute of ‘beauty’. (Petrus Van Mastricht touches on the theme in contemplating the glory of God, in his Theoretical-Practical Theology; Karl Barth seems to have picked it up from him.) But it is Jonathan Edwards alone, among truly Reformed theologians, who integrated ‘beauty’ into the very fibre of his theological contemplation and consideration of the essential nature of God. Together with his recognition of God’s truth (dogmatics) and goodness (ethics), Edwards’ theological out-working of the theme of the divine attribute of ‘beauty’ (aesthetics) deserves our eternal gratitude. More than any other Reformed theologian, without any exceptions, Edwards, by including the attribute of ‘beauty’, shares with us the most comprehensive meditation we have been given by an uninspired author of the fullness of the glory of God. Only one other theologian, of equal ability, has developed the theme of ‘theological aesthetics’ at length: Hans Urs von Balthasar, (‘The Glory of the Lord’, in seven volumes; who, in many instances, unwittingly, closely echo Edwards). ‘Charity and Its Fruits’, would, without doubt, be my Desert Island choice of all Edwards’ works – a rare instance of a book that merits the description ‘heavenly’. (I’d have tucked ‘The Religious Affections’ into my sleeping bag!) Richard C Ross

Highly recommendable item
Color: Green, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Green, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I recently added the Vogcrest Cyperus Rotundus Oil to my grooming routine, and it has been a game-changer for skin maintenance. According to the packaging in this formula is 100% plant-based, vegan, and cruelty-free, which was a major selling point for me. The oil is steam distilled, ensuring a high-quality botanical experience. Since I started using it, I’ve noticed a significant reduction in post-shave redness. It lives up to its promise to soothe irritation and moisturize skin without feeling excessively oily or clogging pores. While these results typically take consistent use over time, my skin feels noticeably smoother for longer periods compared to using standard lotions. It is a clean, effective alternative for anyone looking to simplify their skincare while moving away from synthetic chemicals. The bottle is compact and travel-friendly, making it easy to maintain my routine on the go. If you want an ethical, dual-action oil that hydrates while managing regrowth, I highly recommend giving this a try.

Good quality

I bought this to control some hair growth in a small area and it is definitely helping increase time between trims. It has a really mild scent, which I appreciate -- actually, really hard to smell it unless I put my nose right up to it. Nicely packaged with clear instructions.

Nice choice for after shave oil
Color: Green, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I couldn’t wait to try this after shave oil after using Vogcrest’ facial trimmer (which works wonders also!) on my eyebrows and other areas this afternoon. The smell isn’t loud as anticipated, though it is like an earthy scent but it doesn’t stick after the oil dries. As seen in the video, the consistency isn’t too thick to be applied to the face, or anywhere else after shaving. I put it on my hand to give an idea of the absorption and consistency. It rubs in easily and settles in the skin nicely. I’ve tried others that are too thick, or leave like a sticky after feel, which this doesn’t. Glad I tried this out! I look forward to seeing if it slows the regrowth or not. May come back & update.

I like it
Great after-shave product. It deeply moisturizes the skin and even makes my tattoo look more vibrant and defined. I haven’t noticed any significant effect on slowing hair growth yet, but it completely prevents irritation and leaves the skin feeling smooth and comfortable. For the price, it’s an excellent product and definitely worth trying.
