This book seeks to shed new light on the development of the
ecclesiology of Jonathan Edwards from the writings of his youth
until his Stockbridge treatises, setting this within the context of
Reformation and Puritan debates, and his experience of the revivals
during his Northampton ministry. Bezzant contends that Edwards
repristinated an ossified New England ecclesiology by acknowledging
the church's dynamic relationship with the created order, history
and the nations, and by advocating renewal in ecclesial life
through revivals, itinerancy, Concerts of Prayer, missionary
initiatives outside of the local congregation, and doctrinal
clarification. Bezzant shows that Edwards accommodated the
Christendom model of ecclesiology to the new philosophical,
political and social realities of the mid-eighteenth-century
British Atlantic world. His ecclesiology can be aptly summarized as
prophetic, in as far as the church makes identification with its
social context, while yet providing an alternative millennial
vision for human flourishing. Edwards's Gospel is preached within a
larger vision of transformed society and the glory of God, for whom
the church is an orderly but not ordinary instrument to promote
visible union between believers and Christ.
