This is quite possibly the longest book title ever.
โThe book, An Humble Attempt to Promote an Explicit Agreement and Visible Union of Godโs People throโs the World, in Extraordinary Prayer, for the Revival of Religion, and the Advancement of Christโs Kingdom on Earth, Pursuant to Scripture Promise and Prophecies Concerning the Last Time, [was] completed by September 1747โ by Jonathan Edwards.
Edwards was such a prolific writer and he often had very long titles. So whatโs in a title? Is it important? The 21st century title has to be short, packed full of keywords able to be searched by Google and Amazon, which can be easily found in the digital world of media overload. What is your favorite long title?
