A Dissertation Concerning the End for Which God Created the World is a work by Christian theologian, reformer, author, and pastor Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758) that was started in the mid-1750s but not finally published until 1765, several years following Edwards' death.
Thus, Ed-wards’s primary goal in writing the Two Dissertations was to show, on shared as-sumptions, that such “true virtue” is God’s ultimate end in creation. It is the con-tent of the promise to Abraham, the culmination of redemption, the realization of the Kingdom of God.
Edwards further clarifies his position in section four by noting and rebutting four objections: that God’s making himself his end (1) is inconsistent with his self-sufficiency; (2) is selfish; (3) is unworthy of God; and (4) eliminates cause for creature gratitude.

Apr 24, 2024 · God’s “original ultimate end” in creating and sustaining the world is God’s Holy Spirit indwelling the redeemed, thereby enabling and empowering their experience of God’s own knowledge, love, and joy, so that their words, deeds, and emotions redound to the praise of his glory.
This dissertation is divided into two main topics: (1) what reason dictates concerning this affair; and (2) what may be learned from the Holy Scripture. The author concludes that God's ultimate end is as one: the glory of God, which ultimately seeks the good of his creations.
