Описание: n her Epilogue entitled What Is His Greatness?, Ola Elizabeth Winslow stated in the first serious modern biography of Jonathan Edwards: In a word, it is the greatness of one who had a determining art of initiating and directing a popular movement of far-reaching consequence, and who in addition, laid the foundations for a new system of religious thought, also of far-reaching consequence. After two and a half centuries since Edwardss death, Winslows statement is undoubtedly true, and perhaps, more so now than ever. The recovery of Edwards pioneered by Perry Miller, Ola Winslow, and Thomas Schafer, among others, has become what is often referred to as an Edwards renaissance, and has been made even more popular among lay people by John Piper, Stephen Nichols, and the like. Since the free online access of The Works of Jonathan Edwards by Yale University, dozens of books, and articles, as well as numerous dissertations, each year are written to seek a facet of Edwardss greatness, and thus as an exemplar of his continued far-reaching consequence. Jonathan Edwards, more than any other pre-revolutionary colonial thinker, grappled with the promises and perils of the Enlightenment. Organized by John T. Lowe and Daniel N. Gullotta, Jonathan Edwards within the Enlightenment brings together a group of young and early career scholars to present their propping the life, times, and theology of one of Americas greatest minds. Many of these subjects have been seldom explored by scholars while others offer new and exciting avenues into well covered territory. Some of these topics include Edwards interaction with and involvement in slavery, colonialism, racism, as well as musings on gender, populism, violence, pain, and witchcraft.
Описание: Over the past half century, there has been a proliferation of scholarship on the great American theologian Jonathan Edwards. However, the vast majority of this output confines itself to the details of his work. With some welcome exceptions, the forest has often been missed for the trees. In this ground breaking study William Schweitzer presents a new reading of Edwards: He starts with the question what is distinctive in Edwards’ theology? The answer comes in Edwards’ insight into Trinitarian life. God is eternally communicative of his knowledge, love, and joy among the Three Persons of the Trinity, and this divine communicativeness was for Edwards the explanation for why God created the universe. More specifically, however, Edwards believed that God’s communication carries with it the Trinitarian hallmark of “harmony.” This hallmark is not always east to discern, even for the regenerate. Edwards’ lifelong project—as demonstrated by the common purpose of all three unfinished “Great Works”—was to interpret the harmony found in and among the several media of revelation.

Описание: This volume brings ‘America’s theologian’ and one of the fastest growing forms of Christianity into dialogue. Edwards is a fruitful source for Pentecostal investigation for historical and theological reasons. Edwards and Pentecostals descend from a common historical tradition—North American Evangelicalism. From revivalism and religious/charismatic experience to pneumatology they also share common theological interests. Though sharing a common history and core theological concerns, no critical conversation between Pentecostals and Edwards and their fields of scholarship has occurred. This is the first volume that provides Pentecostal readings of Edwards’ theology that contribute to Pentecostal theology and Edwards scholarship. The contributing essays offer examination of affections and the Spirit, God and Salvation, Church and culture; and mission and witness.
Описание: The book is a case study of how beauty, desire, and bodily experience converge in the work of Jonathan Edwards, using the "kinesthetic imagination" to escape the false dichotomies of modernity.

Описание: Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) is widely regarded as North America`s most influential theologian. Throughout the early decades of his ministry he engaged in a public debate with Arminian theology, a crusade that contributed significantly to the events of the Great Awakening. This book investigates the contours and substance of this theological war.
This volume argues that the notion of "affections" discussed by Jonathan Edwards (and Christian theologians before him) means something very different from what contemporary English speakers now call "emotions." and that Edwards's notions of affections came almost entirely from traditional Christian theology in general and the Reformed tradition in particular. Ryan J. Martin demonstrates that Christian theologians for centuries emphasized affection for God, associated affections with the will, and distinguished affections from passions; generally explaining affections and passions to be inclinations and aversions of the soul. This was Edwards's own view, and he held it throughout his entire ministry. Martin further argues that Edwards's view came not as a result of his reading of John Locke, or the pressures of the Great Awakening (as many Edwardsean scholars argue), but from his own biblical interpretation and theological education. By analysing patristic, medieval and post-medieval thought and the journey of Edwards's psychology, Martin shows how, on their own terms, pre-modern Christians historically defined and described human psychology.

Описание: This book reveals how the doctrine of the Trinity transformed Edwards` ministry and how the Trinity can inform current evangelical thought, life and ministry. Key primary texts, interpretation and application of Edwards` trinitarian theology are all presented here, featuring Edwards` chief trinitarian writings, historical context and an in-depth analysis on his doctrine.
Described as a "thought provoking and biblical" essay on the trinity, Edwads cites scripture throughout to support his theological beliefs that our souls are made in the image of God, as is our understanding and will, and capacity for ideas and love. The differences between man and God lay in the varying degrees of perfection with, of course, God as the supreme manifestation.
Edwards himself was a slave owner, and for much of his life had lived as a champion of the somewhat frenzied Protestant revival in New England during the 1730s.
He experienced a change of heart in his attitudes toward discrimination, and eventually openly denounced the practice of importing slaves. He also took up ministering to a Native American tribe in Massachusetts after being dismissed from the pastorate. This "social awakening" in his later-life may have contributed to his work's new contemplations on ethics, harmony, and beauty, perhaps bringing him just a touch closer to perfection.
