Was Jonathan Edwards the stalwart and unquestioning Reformed
theologian that he is often portrayed as being? In what ways did
his own conversion fail to meet the standards of his Puritan
ancestors? And how did this affect his understanding of the Divine
Being and of the nature of justification? Becoming Divine
investigates the early theological career of Edwards, finding him
deep in a crisis of faith that drove him into an obsessive lifelong
search for answers. Instead of a fear of God, which he had been
taught to understand as proof of his conversion, he experienced a
'surprising, amazing joy'. Suddenly he saw the Divine Being in
everything and felt himself transported into a heavenly world,
becoming one with the Divine family. What he developed, as he
sought to make sense of this unexpected joy, is a theology that is
both ancient and early modern: a theology of divine participation
rooted in the incarnation of Christ.
