God Glorified in Man's Dependence was Edwards' first published work. He originally delivered the sermon in Northampton in the fall of 1730; on July 8, 1731, he preached it to a meeting of clergy in Boston, soon after which it appeared in print. One of his more noted efforts, the sermon was reprinted frequently in subsequent editions of his work, including the Dwight edition (8, 147—62).
