About the Book

In recent years there has been a flowering of interest in the work of Jonathan Edwards. In the last decade this has been encouraged by the publication of many previously unavailable manuscripts, in the Yale edition of Edwards' works. In the same period there has been some interest in the New England theology inspired by Edwards' work, which dominated much of American theology in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. However, the interest in New England Theology has been much less pronounced than that expressed in the work of Edwards. This is strange given the influence of New England Theology and the ways in which the theologians of this movement developed and expressed broadly Edwardsian themes. After Jonathan Edwards offers a reassessment of the New England Theology in light of the work of Jonathan Edwards. Scholars who have made important contributions to our understanding of Edwards are brought together with scholars of New England theology and early American history to produce a groundbreaking examination of the ways in which New England Theology flourished, how themes in Edwards' thought were taken up and changed by representatives of the school, and its lasting influence on the shape of American Christianity.

Review :
"This is a rich volume... Edwards remains a creative conversation partner for present day evangelicals and others."Â-- David Ceri Jones, Journal for the History of Modern Theology 2017 Volume 24 Issue 2. "A rich historical and theological analysis of Edwards s thought...The essays are of a high quality and valuable for the historical insights which they provide into a man whose writings continue to have a profound influence on the study of theology and contemporary ministry."--The Banner of Truth "Crisp and Sweeney have gathered a constellation of essays that guarantees renewed attention to Edwards's legacy. Here we find revaluation and renovation of his immediate disciples, Bellamy and Hopkins, long criticized for turning Edwards's poetry into mere prose yet proving instead the malleability and resilience of his ideas. We move as well through nineteenth-century theologians like Taylor and Park whose own creative renovation of Edwards's ideas speak to their contemporaries' unique moral concerns before and after the Civil War. A late grouping of essays addresses Edwards's continuing appeal to a variety of denominations in the twentieth century as well as to contemporary worldwide evangelism. Never was it more true that Edwards, like Abel, 'though dead, yet speaketh.'"--Philip F. Gura, author of Jonathan Edwards: America's Evangelical "This is an excellent collection of essays on the emergence of a theological tradition, the diversity found within it, and its continuing vitality. It enriches our understanding of the complexity of this developing tradition in its transmission and reception, its informal networks and institutionalization. The editors, in concluding, advance a bold agenda for further research on the long reach of Jonathan Edwards." --Ecclesiology
