McLean’s rendition of both Luther and Augustine’s was excellent in their own right. The additional contextual information provided by Max at the beginning of both narrations helped immensely in understanding the context of what was taking place. The narration of Edwards and Whitefield’s, however, deserves much attention.

George Whitefield was known for his ability to command an audience whenever he spoke. He was arguably the greatest orator of his time. Max McLean played that to the hilt as only Max can do. The dramatic pauses and variation of speech tempo was very much appreciated. His voice would raise to a crescendo and then fall to a whisper at just the right moment. I was listening to this sermon while driving my car and, on a couple occasions, wanted to pull over and repent of sins as though it were the first time I had ever heard the gospel preached. This sermon alone is worth the price of the set. It makes an excellent resource to share with an unbeliever willing to listen.

He reads Edwards with the gravity that was surely felt on that fateful day in Enfield, Connecticut July 8, 1741. I found myself personally cringing and tensing up at the thought of what it would be like to fall into God’s hands as an unrepentant sinner. The “forward” by R.C. Sproul was very helpful in shedding light on some mischaracterizations of Jonathan Edwards and in particular this sermon. As it was with the Whitefield narration, this particular sermon is also worth the price of the set. #
