		Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758), colonial New England minister and missionary, was one of the greatest preachers and theologians in American history.

		Edwards was denied the privilege of explaining his views from the pulpit, and his written defense, An Humble Inquiry into the Rules of the Word of God, Concerning the Qualifications Requisite to a Complete Standing and Full Communion with the Visible Christian Church (1749), went largely unread.

	Jonathan Edwards
		Jonathan Edwards will no doubt never be a Longfellow figure in American literary histories, but one senses that at the present moment, at any rate, he is a casualty of the decentering of Puritanism and the devaluing of religious writing signaled by Philip Gura's analysis of the field a decade ago ("Study").
		Edwards' sentence structure in the Opening is clear and taut till the end of the last sentence in point four, where the syntax itself literally starts to fall, to slide.
		Edwards substitutes parallelism for the simple repetitions of "there" and "you" we saw in the incantation above and--perfectly consonant with a text that affirms their foot shall slide in due time--makes the inexorable march of time the operative factor.

	Calvin College - Spark - Winter 2003 - Jonathan Edwards at 300
		He was America’s greatest theologian, one of America’s best philosophers, a famous preacher, a leader in America’s early revivals, a missionary, the author of a famous mission biography (of David Brainerd), a virtuoso of spiritual experience, and (with more than a little help from his storied wife, Sarah) the father of 11 children.
		Edwards was, to Enlightenment Christianity, what John Calvin was to Reformation Christianity: a genius who had the capacity to hold on to traditional truths but reconcile and restate them in the language of the learned world around him.
		Edwards at his best was an ecstatic preacher who got so caught up in the world of heaven that his mind positively beamed of divine inspiration.

	Jonathan Edwards: Theologian for the Church \| TheResurgence
		Edwards was first and foremost a pastor, and did theology in order to help the Church better understand how to live as the Body of Christ and witness to the world.

	Jonathan Edwards and Sovereign Beauty
		Edwards developed his moral psychology in response to the pastoral challenges evoked by the Great Awakening, the movement of intense religious rhetoric and mass conversions that swept the colonies from 1740 to 1743.
		For Edwards, this dynamic interpretation of human experience rests on the priority of "the will or inclination." The faculty of understanding is the "foundation" of grace since it grasps the truth of God's message; the will, however, is the "seat" of grace since it is the primary source of acts of virtue and religion.
		Edwards' devotion was permeated with an undertone of deep reverence for the divine sovereignty; it never slipped into the chummy familiarity of pietism.

	Toronto Blessing: Was Jonathan Edwards the Father of the Toronto Movement?
		This was a treatise published by Edwards in 1741, during the remarkable revival that swept New England in 1740-42, usually known as "The Great Awakening." Edwards' concern in the Distinguishing Marks was to defend the authentic nature of the Awakening as (on the whole, and despite defects) a true work of the Holy Spirit.
		Edwards was simply arguing that their presence in an extraordinary degree, in unusual and perhaps overpowering vigour and intensity, must not be taken as a sure sign of psychological imbalance or demonic deception.
		Edwards declared that it was the duty of anyone "extraordinarily moved" in a religious service to "refrain to their utmost" from giving way to "outward manifestations." The lesson is crystal-clear.

	John Locke - Jonathan Edwards - Thomas Campbell
		The assumption that an orthodox theologian, devoted to the theology of the past, could not also gain in sights from contemporary philosophy is based on a misconception of traditional Christian orthodoxy.
		Just as Edwards was later to show that the champions of free will reduced freedom to bondage and, worse than that, to meaninglessness, so he shows that deism, in its attempt to glorify reason, actually destroyed it.
		Edwards argued that all knowledge would be reduced to hopeless paradox if we could not rely upon the processes of perception and testimony.

	Jonathan Edwards (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Edwards' principle reasons for theological determinism are God's sovereignty, the principle of sufficient reason (which requires that everything that begins to be have a complete cause), the nature of motivation, and God's foreknowledge.
		Edwards' model is not a whole and its parts, or a substance (a bearer of properties) and its properties, or an essence and its accidents, but agent causality.
		Edwards' claim, then, is that to reason accurately about God one must have an actual idea of him, and to have that one must be truly benevolent.

		In a letter, Edwards wrote in his own defense, "If [the critics of slave owners] continue to cry out against those who keep Negro slaves," they would show themselves to be hypocrites, because they too benefited from the slave trade.
