Jonathan Edwards, pleasure seeker

Interview: Scholar Stephen J. Nichols on how Christians can and should be "happified" | Marvin Olasky

Stephen J. Nichols, a professor at Lancaster Bible College and Graduate School, lives with his wife and two sons in Lancaster, Pa. Nichols received a Ph.D. from Westminster Theological Seminary and has authored six books, including a new one published in June by Crossway, Heaven on Earth: Capturing Jonathan Edwards's Vision of Living in Between.

WORLD: In between what?

SJN: Between the promise of heaven and being there. Christians have wrestled with being in the world and not of it since the days of Christ. Augustine tackled it in his classic City of God. And, Jonathan Edwards had a great deal to say about it—much of which, I'm convinced, speaks directly to being disciples in the 21st century.
