Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) was a preacher, theologian, and
missionary to the Native Americans. This book deals with Jonathan
Edwards' doctrine of justification and its continuity with Reformed
tradition. In his Reformed Theology, Edwards interprets the
doctrine with scholastic as well as forensic terms such as
"disposition," "habit," and "fitness." Due to his use of these
concepts, some scholars suspect that he had a quasi-Roman Catholic
view of salvation. According to them, Edwards' use of the terms
indicates the intrinsic renovation or inherent righteousness of a
saint. Contrary to this suspicion, Jonathan Edwards on
Justification demonstrates that Edwards stands firmly on the
Reformed tradition in the doctrine of justification. In this book,
Hyun-Jin Cho presents a historical study on the theological
connection between Edwards and his Reformed forebears. Based on
Edwards' dispositional ontology, the concept of "dispositional
transformation" with the Holy Spirit becomes an important
theoretical foundation of his doctrine of justification. Cho
discusses Edwards' attempts to explain his doctrine of
justification in terms of disposition and its effects.
