This edition presents the first text of Jonathan Edwards' private
commentary on the book of Revelation. Written over a period of
thirty-five years, Edwards' notebook reveals his lifelong
fascination with apocalyptic speculation (including its bizarre
aspects) and his persistent conviction concerning the usefulness of
the visions in the life of the Christian church. In this volume is
also published the first complete edition (since the eighteenth
century) of the Humble Attempt (1748)-the call for united prayer
that was Edwards' response to the decline in religious fervor after
the Great Awakening. In his Introduction and commentary, Stephen J.
Stein examines the development of Edwards' apocalyptic interests in
the light of the situation in the eighteenth century, showing also
how Edwards' private judgments on the book of Revelation affected
his personal and theological activity. Together the texts and the
Introduction illuminate a hitherto inadequately explored facet of
Edwards' religious thought. With this volume, the Yale edition of
the Works of Jonathan Edwards inaugurates the publication of
Edwards' major manuscripts. Here, and in subsequent volumes, the
massive body of Edwards' manuscripts materials (including letter,
sermons, and Miscellanies) will be made available for the first
time. Stephen J. Stein is associate professor of religious studies
at Indiana University.
