Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) was a Puritan theologian, pastor, and devout Calvinist and was the most significant American churchman of the 18th century. Said to be one of America’s greatest preachers, he was a leading figure in the (first) Great Awakening.
From the Theopedia entry
I thought I would pass along a few resources for those who want to learn more about the man:
The Jonathan Edwards Center at Yale University - complete works online, etc. A good start is the About Jonathan Edwards section
Theopedia - a “Christian Wikipedia”. A risky-sounding proposition but seems to be pretty solid and the Jonathan Edwards entry has some great multi-media content.
Puritan Library - several download-able versions of his writings in pdf format
Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God (MP3 audio) - Edwards’ most famous sermon (July 8, 1741), here preached by Mark Dever.
Monergismbooks - hardcopy books by Edwards and books about Edwards
