In this video from a lecture given at Gospel Fellowship PCA in Valencia, PA, I discuss the marriage of Jonathan and Sarah Edwards.

We begin by considering Sarah’s beginnings, her early life, and Jonathan’s famous “Apostrophe,” a love poem to his future bride, then thirteen. After that we consider their marriage in 1727 and their eleven children. We look at Sarah’s daily life, their pastoral ministry as pastor and wife, and consider several early accounts of her character and countenance.

We move on then to consider Sarah’s ecstatic religious experiences during the Great Awakening in 1740-1742. Meanwhile, we look at several of the ways that Sarah suffered, including their untimely deaths in 1757-1758. Finally, we look at the last words of each person.
