Overview
It has often been claimed that Jonathan Edwards (1703-58) was America's greatest philosopher and theologian. From literary criticism of his sermons to philosophical assessments of his metaphysics, there has been a burgeoning industry in Edwardsian studies, but there has been no one place where an exploration of the theology and philosophy of Edwards has been brought together.2003 marks the tercentenary date of the birth of Jonathan Edwards. This book draws together specially commissioned contributions from distinguished philosophers and theologians from the USA and UK, to present new analytic philosophical and theological thinking on Edwards in a way that reflects Edwards's own concerns as well as those current in the academy.
Synopsis
Philosophers and theologians from the US and Britain were invited to present new analysis of American Edwards' (1703-58) thought. Hell, free will, personal identity, dispositional ontology, and divine simplicity are among the topics that link his concerns with those of today's resurgent puritanism.
