the wise, Is. 6, 8, 29. etc.; and to preach
the Gospel to the lowly, Is. 29; to open the eyes of the blind, give health
to the sick, and bring light to those that languish in darkness. Is. 61.

He is to show the perfect way, and be the teacher of the Gentiles. Is. 55;
43:1-7.

The prophecies are to be unintelligible to the wicked, Dan. 12; Hosea 14:10;
but they are to be intelligible to those who are well informed.

The prophecies, which represent Him as poor, represent Him as master of the
nations. Is. 52:14, etc.; 53; Zech. 9:9.

The prophecies, which foretell the time, foretell Him only as master of the
nations and suffering, and not as in the clouds nor as judge. And those,
which represent Him thus as judge and in glory, do not mention the time.
When the Messiah is spoken of as great and glorious, it is as the judge of
the world, and not its Redeemer.

He is to be the victim for the sins of the world. Is. 39:53. etc.

He is to be the precious corner-stone. Is. 28:16.

He is to be a stone of s

from all others; their hearts are
ready to sink with the thought that they are the worst of all, and that
none ever obtained mercy who were so wicked as they.

When awakenings first begin, their consciences are commonly most
exercised about their outward vicious course, or other acts of sin; but
afterwards are much more burdened with a sense of heart-sins, the
dreadful corruption of their nature, their enmity against God, the pride
of their hearts, their unbelief, their rejection of Christ, the
stubbornness and obstinacy of their wills; and the like. In many, God
makes much use of their own experience, in the course of their
awakenings and endeavors after saving good, to convince them of their
own vile emptiness and universal depravity.

Very often, under first awakenings, when they are brought to reflect on
the sin of their past lives, and have something of a terrifying sense of
God's anger, they set themselves to walk more strictly, and confess
their sins, and perform many religious duties, with a secret hope of
appeasing God's anger, and making up for the sins they have committed.
And oftentimes, at first setting out, their affections are so moved,
that they are full of tears, in their confessions and prayers; which
they are ready to make very much of, as though they were some atonement,
and had power to move correspondent affections in God to

they deserved."

A Faithful Narrative of the Surprising Work of God

by Jonathan Edwards


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Faithful Narrative of the Surprising Work of God is Jonathan Edwards'
own account of the mighty way in which God moved among the people of
Northampton, Massachusetts and other nearby communities in the early
stages of what has become known as The Great Awakening. There is much to
be learned from Edwards regarding the nature of true conversion and how
God's Spirit works in awakening and converting sinners. A Faithful
Narrative is reproduced here in its entirety with the hopes that many
will profit greatly from the observations of the greatest evangelist
ever to grace the American continent. 

The Narrative is divided into three sections: 

I. A General Introductory Statement,

II. The Manner of Conversions Various, Yet Bearing a Great Analogy, 

III. This Work Further Illustrated in Particular Instances.

Rev. and Honored Sir,

Having seen your letter to my honored Uncle Williams of Hatfield, of
July 20, wherein you inform him of the notice that has been taken of the
late wonderful work of God, in this and some other towns in this
country, by the Rev. Dr. Watts, and Dr. Guyse, of London, and the
congregation to which the last of these preached on a monthly day of
solemn prayer; also, of your desire to be more perfectly acquainted with
it, by some of us on the spot: and having been since informed by my
Uncle Williams that you desire me to undertake it, I would now do it, in
a just and faithful a manner as in me lies.

SECTION I. A General Introductory Statement

The people of the country, in general, I suppose, are
