Isaac Watts was an important but relatively unexamined figure and
this volume offers a description of his theology, specifically
identifying his position on reason and passion as foundational. The
book shows how Watts modified a Puritan inherence on both topics in
the light of the thought of his day. In particular there is an
examination of how he both took on board and reacted against
aspects of Enlightenment and sentimentalist thought. Watts'
position on these foundational issued of reason and passion are
then shown to lie behind his more practical works to revive the
church. Graham Beynon examines the motivation for Watts' work in
writing hymns, and the way in which he wrote them; and discusses
his preaching and prayer. In each of these practical topics Watts's
position is compared to earlier Puritans to show the difference his
thinking on reason and passion makes in practice. Isaac Watts is
shown to have a coherent position on the foundational issues of
reason and passion which drove his view of revival of religion.
