Jonathan Edwards among the Theologians

<DIV>Though Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758) is widely regarded as America’s most important theologian very few people are actually familiar with his theology. In this book Oliver Crisp helpfully elucidates key themes in Edwards’s thought.<BR /><BR /> Treating Edwards as a constructive theologian with serious philosophical interests Crisp explains Edwards’s thinking on such matters as the Trinity creation original sin free will and preaching. Crisp underscores the innovative nature of Edwards’s work by bringing his thought into dialogue with other major Christian theologians such as Anselm and Arminius.<BR /><BR /> What emerges from Crisp’s <I>Jonathan Edwards among the Theologians</I> is a complex multifaceted picture of Edwards as a highly original significant thinker who sometimes pressed at the very limits of orthodoxy and whose theological thought remains strikingly relevant today.</DIV>
