Religious affections

Book • 1746
Written in 1746 during the First Great Awakening, 'Religious Affections' is a treatise by Jonathan Edwards that aims to discern the true signs of Christian conversion.

Edwards argues that true religion consists largely in holy affections, emphasizing the role of emotions and the inclination of the will in religious experience.

He distinguishes between legitimate and illegitimate emotions, providing twelve signs that are uncertain and twelve true signs of gracious affections.

The book is a comprehensive guide to understanding the marks of a saving work of the Holy Spirit and the importance of testing one's faith to ensure it is genuine.
