Before anyone makes a smart comment the prize is a book because despite the wonders of online access, we still love books!
I'm trying to get my friend more into Edwards. He is black and is reluctant to read the works of a man who owned slaves. Or, as my friend puts it, "How can a man be considered Godly when they neglect the most basic of commandments, loving others." I was wondering if you had anything I could say to that or if you have the history about Edwards' owning slaves, like maybe he was nice to his slaves or something. Thanks.
stephen,
that's a very good question, and bravo for trying to get others to read Edwards.
Sherard Burns, an african-american pastor, addresses this very subject in his chapter, "Trusting the Theology of a Slave Owner" in the edited volume, A God Entranced Vision of All Things: The Legacy of Jonathan Edwards.
definitely check that out and go through it with your friend.

You can access the fulltext of that book via Desiring God ministries.
for free ...
thanks
