Jonathan Edwards among the Theologians

Review Theological Studies "This study offers a wealth of insight into Edwards and his importance for theology-past and present. Readers will welcome the clarity and precision of Crisp's presentation-even when discussing complex theological questions. . . . Readers looking for a thoughtful introduction to and careful analysis of Edwards's theology will find this in Crisp's very fine book."Douglas A. Sweeney - Trinity Evangelical Divinity School "Oliver Crisp is leading the way among constructive theologians who are engaging Jonathan Edwards as a serious interlocutor. This book showcases Crisp at his finest, never parroting Edwards's teaching but, rather, following his model of occasional, contextual, and critical adaptation of the insights of the past in relation to the challenges we face in the present. Edwards still has much to offer even the most contemporary theologians."Kenneth P. Minkema - Jonathan Edwards Center, Yale University "This welcome volume brings together the most important essays on Jonathan Edwards by the most important of his interpreters in this generation. Crisp defines and tackles pressing issues in Edwards studies in an expert and game-changing way." 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. About the Author  Oliver D. Crisp is professor of analytic theology the University of St. Andrews.
