Charity and Its Fruits: Christian Love as Manifested in the Heart and Life

In this collection of sermons on 1 Corinthians 13, Jonathan Edwards shows that Christians are called to exemplify the great virtue of charity through their thoughts and actions. Edwards shows the nature and virtue of love as the distinguishing mark of a true Christian-love, which manifests itself in preferring others before self.

Author Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) became pastor of the church at Northampton, Massachusetts in 1729 and remained there for twenty-three years before moving on to missionary work in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.
