"This is a rich volume... Edwards remains a creative conversation
partner for present day evangelicals and others."Â-- David Ceri
Jones, Journal for the History of Modern Theology 2017 Volume 24
Issue 2.
"A rich historical and theological analysis of Edwards s
thought...The essays are of a high quality and valuable for the
historical insights which they provide into a man whose writings
continue to have a profound influence on the study of theology and
contemporary ministry."--The Banner of Truth
"Crisp and Sweeney have gathered a constellation of essays that
guarantees renewed attention to Edwards's legacy. Here we find
revaluation and renovation of his immediate disciples, Bellamy and
Hopkins, long criticized for turning Edwards's poetry into mere
prose yet proving instead the malleability and resilience of his
ideas. We move as well through nineteenth-century theologians like
Taylor and Park whose own creative renovation of Edwards's ideas
speak to
their contemporaries' unique moral concerns before and after the
Civil War. A late grouping of essays addresses Edwards's continuing
appeal to a variety of denominations in the twentieth century as
well
as to contemporary worldwide evangelism. Never was it more true
that Edwards, like Abel, 'though dead, yet speaketh.'"--Philip F.
Gura, author of Jonathan Edwards: America's Evangelical
"This is an excellent collection of essays on the emergence of a
theological tradition, the diversity found within it, and its
continuing vitality. It enriches our understanding of the
complexity of this developing tradition in its transmission and
reception, its informal networks and institutionalization. The
editors, in concluding, advance a bold agenda for further research
on the long reach of Jonathan Edwards." --Ecclesiology
