Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) is widely recognized as one of the
greatest philosopher-theologians America has ever produced, and
recent years have seen a remarkable increase in research on his
writings. To date, however, there has been no single authoritative
volume that introduces and interprets the key aspects of Edwards'
thought as a whole. The Princeton Companion to Jonathan Edwards
provides just such a concise and comprehensive work, one that will
be invaluable to students and scholars of American religion and
theology as well as of literature, philosophy, and history.
Comprising twenty essays by leading scholars on Edwards, the book
will inform and challenge readers on subjects ranging from Edwards'
understanding of the Trinity, God and the world, Christ, and
salvation, as well as of history, typology, the church, and mission
to Native Americans. It also includes a chronology of Edwards' life
and writings that incorporates current research. Those familiar
with Edwards' writings will find in these essays succinct
expositions as well as bold new interpretations, and others will
find an accessible, authoritative, up-to-date orientation to his
multifaceted thought. The essays are by Robert E. Brown, Allen C.
Guezlo, Robert W. Jenson, Wilson H. Kimnach, Janice Knight, Sang
Hyun Lee, Gerald R. McDermott, Kenneth P. Minkema, Mark Noll,
Richard R. Niebuhr, Amy Plantinga Pauw, John E. Smith, Stephen J.
Stein, Harry S. Stout, Douglas A. Sweeney, Peter J. Thuesen, and
John F. Wilson.
