The value of Edwards' treatise on the thirteenth chapter of the First Epistle to the Corinthians is multi-faceted. It expounds true religion in its most practical expression. It brings us to the heart of God. It examines our hearts. It presents a convincing argument for the cessation of the apostolic gifts that is much needed in our day.

The original was first published in 1852, nearly a hundred years after the death of its author. His great-grandson, Tryon Edwards, edited the treatise, and in 2007, Daniel Chamberlin was pleased to write this summary for Spanish translation purposes. His prayer is that English readers also will find it beneficial.
