This book deals with God’s command to “Go back to Bethel”, speaking of the separation from sin which God commands every believer, and the corresponding command to communion with God.
Written in 1746 during the First Great Awakening, Religious Affections remains an important and challenging Christian treatise. Concerned that many people do not display true “religious affections,” Jonathan Edwards attempts to “discern…wherein true religion does consist.” Balancing between extreme “intellectualism” and extreme “emotionalism,” Edwards argues that emotions are an important part of true religion, but that one must distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate emotions. He provides both “negative” or unreliable signs of true religious emotions, and “positive” or reliable signs of true religious emotions.
Cummings Through the Eternal Spirit (1896) is a 25 chapter serious work on the Holy Spirit, 315 page work.
