The quest for joy is as universal as it is elusive. Happiness is that which all human beings desire; yet only few ever discover it in deeply personal and lasting experiences. Among the theologians and philosophers who sought to apprehend a personal experience of joy, the great colonial thinker Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) stands out as a brilliant voice from the past, speaking boldly on what constitutes the true nature of joy, as well as identifying the sad and deceiving counterfeits to real happiness. In A Theology of Joy: Jonathan Edwards and Eternal Happiness in the Holy Trinity, Reformed pastor and Edwards scholar Matthew Everhard studies the primary works of the puritan sage, combing through his many sermons, manuscripts, and major treatises to uncover and systematize the primary concepts, images, and motifs related to joy. This book works through such important pieces as Edwards' The Religious Affections, The End for Which God Created the World, and The Miscellanies; as well as some of Edwards lesser-known writings such as his "Treatise on Grace" and his "Essay on the Trinity." These literature studies identify important strands of Edwards' public teaching and private musings on the concept of happiness. As the book progresses, Everhard begins to group together Edwards' thoughts on joy and happiness into several major categories; especially as they relate to the doctrine of the Trinity, salvation, the holy life, and the believer's final estate in Heaven. Concluding the study, Everhard makes several practical applications that are especially relevant to ministers of the gospel, as well as to all Christians generally.

Joy in the Christian life has never been a divine suggestion but an indelible part of His new creation, yet we have found that much of what is today dubbed Christianity lacks this intrinsic feature. As to naming the source of the problem, we have found many views. But this author has but one to name, and that is the laziness of modern Christians in understanding their position in Christ. Christians do not make the study of the scriptures a lifestyle. Joy, as a concept, was God’s invention, not man’s, and yet today, people are convinced that they can obtain this blessing without Him. He gave it and outlined only in His Word how to get it and keep it. This is why I call it a theology and not a philosophy. It requires thinking biblically. A pastor of a local church and loves teaching the Bible verse by verse.

A life of consecration prefigures what Christians hope for by calling into question the value of power, sexuality, and material possessions. Religious life challenges the idea that these things alone bring happiness and shows that we can be more fulfilled, happier, and more whole without being attached to them. Furthermore, detaching ourselves from these desires allows others to live with more dignity and greater ease, as well. Consecrated life, then, is a prophetic witness to the joy of the eschatological call of Christianity. In the words of Pope Francis to religious men and women leading up to the Year of Consecrated Religious, “Wake up the world! Be witnesses of a different way of doing things, of acting, of living!”

We all live in a world of pain and suffering-of wars, poverty, disease, mental instability, moral impurity, aging, and death. Our daily news reports are crammed with negative messages and images. Many of us feel inundated by problems and reasons to be unhappy. What could be more important, in such a world, than James McReynolds' message about joy and love? This isn't a new message from Jim. He's been beating this drum for many years now. He has had his own problems. I remember a night when I was away from home on a speaking trip. Jim phoned our house in the middle of the night. My wife Anne answered the call and heard his desperate voice on the other end, threatening to end his life. She talked to him until dawn, and then sent a friend of his to his house to make sure he was all right. Then Jim discovered the concept of joy. He tells about it in this book. It changed his life. He has been an evangelist for joy ever since, flying all over the country and even the world to tell people how important it is. How many of us experience real joy on a regular basis? Not many, I'm sure.

Joy is crucial to human life and central to God’s relationship to the world, yet it is remarkably absent from contemporary theology and, increasingly, from our own lives! This collection remedies this situation by considering the import of joy on human flourishing. These essays—written by experts in systematic and pastoral theology, Christian ethics, and biblical studies—demonstrate the promise of joy to throw open new theological possibilities and cast fresh light on all dimensions of human life. With contributions from Jurgen Moltmann, N. T. Wright, Marianne Meye Thompson, Mary Clark Moschella, Charles Mathewes, and Miroslav Volf, this volume puts joy at the heart of Christian faith and life, exploring joy’s biblical, dogmatic, ecclesiological, and ethical dimensions in concert with close attention to the shifting tides of culture. Convinced of the need to offer to the world a compelling Christian vision of the good life, the authors treat the connections between joy and themes of creation, theodicy, politics, suffering, pastoral practice, eschatology, and more, driven by the conviction that vital relationship with the living God is integral to our fullest flourishing as human creatures.

Join New Testament scholar Thomas Schreiner as he explores the meaning and purpose of the book of Revelation. The book of Revelation can feel more intimidating to read than other books of the Bible. It invites readers into a world that seems confusing and sometimes even strange: golden lampstands, seven seals, a dragon, and a rider on a white horse. But at its core, Revelation is a message of hope written to Christians facing hardship, and it's worth the effort to read it and understand it. In this first volume in the New Testament Theology series, trusted scholar Thomas Schreiner walks step-by-step through the book of Revelation, considering its many themes—the opposition believers face from the world; the need for perseverance; God as sovereign Creator, Judge, and Savior—as well as its symbolic imagery and historical context. The Joy of Hearing brings clarity to the content and message of Revelation and explores its relevance for the church today.
