To be sure some speak out against Christian Hedonism, but not his claim about Jonathan Edwards.
This really baffles me.
Far be it from me to speculate as to why there are those who allegedly oppose Piper's "Christian Hedonism" (I cringe every time I see this phrase) do not likewise reject the assertion that Piper is only iterating a teaching of Jonathan Edwards. I am more than content to oppose any such idea regardless how many others disagree. To suggest that Edwards believed that God is most glorified by anything that exists in fallen mankind or anything that professing Christians do is absurd. Even a cursory reading of Edwards' "The Freedom of the Will" should dispel any such notion.
