This volume contains Edwards' most mature and persistent attempt to
judge the validity of the religious development in
eighteenth-century America known as the Great Awakening. In
developing criteria for such judgment he attacked at the same time
one of the fundamental questions facing all religion: how to
distinguish genuine from spurious piety? The Awakening created much
bitter controversy; on the one side stood the emotionalists and
enthusiasts, and on the other the rationalists, for whom religion
was essentially a matter of morality or good conduct and the
acceptance of properly formulated doctrine. Edwards, with great
analytical skill and enormous biblical learning, showed that both
sides were in the wrong. He attacked both a "lifeless morality" as
too pale as to be the essence of religion, and he rejected the
excesses of a purely emotional religion more concerned for
sensational effects than for the inner transformation of the self,
which was, for him, the center of genuine Christianity.
