Before its first publication in 1971, the three essays that
comprise Jonathan Edwards' Treatise on Grace had never appeared in
a collection. This book presents these three rare pieces and his
Essay on the Trinity along with brief introductory sketches to
their context and their relevance to his more widely known work.
The concept of divine grace was a pivotal notion in the theology of
Jonathan Edwards. He had inherited a 'covenant' theology from his
Puritan forebears, which supposed that the Holy Spirit was the
'agency of application' through which the Father granted grace to
the elect after the Son's sacrifice. In these essays, Edwards
attempts to modify this inherited doctrine. Instead of being the
'agency of application' utilised by the Father, Edwards suggests
that the Holy Spirit is the gift given itself. The Treatise on
Grace is a classic work of American theology from one of the
country's most important theologians.
