Exploring the inner motivations of one of America's greatest
religious thinkers, this book analyses the ways in which Jonathan
Edwards' intense personal piety and deep experience of divine
sovereignty drove an introverted intellectual along a course that
would eventually develop into a mature and respected public
intellectual. Throughout his life, the tension between his innately
contemplative nature and the active demands of public office was a
constant source of internal and public strife for Edwards.
Approaching Jonathan Edwards offers a new theoretical approach to
the study of Edwards, with an emphasis on his writing activity as
the key strategy in shaping his legacy. Tracing Edwards' strategic
self-fashioning of his persona through the many conflicts in which
he was engaged, the critical turning points in his life, and his
strategies for managing conflicts and crises, Carol Ball concludes
that Edwards found his place as a superlative contemplative
apologist and theorist of experiential spirituality.
