Jonathan Edwards is considered by many to be America's greatest
theologian. Many have lauded him as one of the great theologians in
church history. This book brings together major Catholic, Orthodox,
and Protestant theologians to assess Edwards's theological acumen.
Each chapter places Edwards in conversation with a thinker or a
tradition over a specific theological issue.
Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) is considered by many to be America's
greatest theologian. In fact, many have lauded him as one of the
great theologians in church history. Similarly, Edwards scholars
claim his thought parallels many of the most important theologians
in the history of Christianity, but these claims have never been
assessed by the broader theological community.
This volume provides an interpretative key to Jonathan Edwards's
theology developed from within his own doctrinal constructs.
Strobel offers a dogmatic exposition of Edwards's theology by
unveiling the trinitarian architecture of his thought. Building
upon this analysis, Strobel applies his construct to reinterpret
three key areas of redemption debated widely in the secondary
literature: spiritual knowledge, regeneration, and religious
affection. In order to achieve this purpose, Strobel's approach is
theological rather than philosophical, employing Edwards's
self-confession as a Reformed theologian to guide his analysis. In
advancing a theological reading of Edwards, Strobel focuses on the
systematic nature of Edward's theology, ordering it according to
his doctrinal affirmations. This necessitates, as many Edwards
scholars now affirm, a primary focus on Edwards's trinitarian
theology, where the Trinity serves as the key ontological principle
which orders the whole of his doctrinal construction. By grounding
the interpretive key in Edwards's understanding of the Trinity,
Strobel's idiosyncratic exposition of his doctrine of the Trinity
serves to recast Edwards's theology in a new light.
Jesus said we should focus our minds and hearts on God above all
else. No small task Is there someone we can turn to for help?
"Wisdom tells us to sit at the feet of our elders rather than the
latest ministry fad," notes author Kyle Strobel. And is there a
better elder to guide us than Jonathan Edwards? In Edwards, the
eighteenth-century Puritan pastor and theologian, we find deep
thought balanced with deep passion. Through his writings and
practices, Edwards provides us with the tools--the "means of
grace"--that make us receptive to God's work in our lives as we
learn to abide in Christ. Here we find a well-rounded account of
being formed for the glory of God.

Books on the Christian life abound. Some focus on spirituality,
others on practices, and others still on doctrines such as
justification or forgiveness. Few offer an account of the Christian
life that portrays redeemed Christian existence within the
multifaceted and beautiful whole of the Christian confession. This
book attempts to fill that gap. It provides a constructive,
specifically theological interpretation of the Christian life
according to the nature of God's grace. This means coordinating the
Triune God, his reconciling, justifying, redemptive, restorative,
and otherwise transformative action with those practices of the
Christian life emerging from it. The doctrine of the Christian life
developed here unifies doctrine and life, confession and practice
within the divine economy of grace.Drawing together some of the
most important theologians in the church today, "Sanctified by
Grace "achieves what no other theological text offers - a shared
work of dogmatic theology oriented to redeemed Christian existence.
Student-friendly intro to one of America's most fascinating
theological minds. Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) has long been
recognized as one of the preeminent thinkers in the early
Enlightenment and a major figure in the history of American
Christianity. In this accessible one-volume text, leading Edwards
experts Oliver Crisp and Kyle Strobel introduce readers to the
formi-dable mind of Jonathan Edwards as they survey key theological
and philosophical themes in his thought, including his doctrine of
the Trinity, his philosophical theology of God and creation, and
his understanding of the atonement and salvation. More than two
centuries after his death, theologians and historians alike are
finding the larger-than-life Edwards more interesting than ever.
Crisp and Strobel's concise yet comprehensive guide will help new
students of this influential eighteenth-century revivalist preacher
begin to understand why.
