The Thought of Jonathan Edwards Paperback / softback
by Miklos Veto
Part of the Jonathan Edwards Classic Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
Jonathan Edwards is the greatest theologian of colonial America as well as its first important philosopher.
As a theologian, he represents without any concession Calvinistic Orthodoxy, re-thought and re-lived through the experience of the Great Awakening.
The large majority of his writings are of a theological character, yet this theology is articulated and expressed through a systematic philosophical reflection.
Edwardsian thought covers three major areas: First, being, grace, and glory; then, the doctrine of the will extending to the study of the original sin and evil; finally, an entirely original theory of knowledge synthesizing spirituality, aesthetics, and epistemology.
The present book, the first edition of which appeared in French almost thirty years ago, is a uniquely comprehensive study of the work of Jonathan Edwards.
It discusses all the aspects of his thought over against the background of classical Protestant theology and of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Western philosophy.
Our time witnesses a significant renewal of interest in Jonathan Edwards.
Professor Veto's book should prove to be a major contribution to assist and to guide the readers of "America's Theologian."
