		Jonathan Edwards was a devoted minister, faithfully serving his congregation in Northampton, Massachusetts, for twenty-five years.

	Island of Freedom - Jonathan Edwards
		Jonathan Edwards was one of the most significant religious thinkers in American history.
		Edwards shows that 18th century arguments for the indeterminacy of the will lead either to the nonsensical idea that no action could be uncaused or to an amoral randomness.
		Edwards read widely in his era's scientific and philosophical literature and was fascinated by the discoveries of Newton and his successors.

	Jonathan Edwards
		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 calls the new mode of spiritual understanding a "sense" because the apprehension of spiritual beauty is (1) non-inferential and (2) involuntary, and Edwards, like Hutcheson, associates sensation with immediacy and passivity.

		Edwards wished to change the precedent established by his grandfather Solomon Stoddard, and it is a monument to the memory of Stoddard (as well as the intransigence of the New Englander) that despite Edwards' fame and long time of ministry, he was dismissed for even attempting to change the status quo.
		The theology of Jonathan Edwards is soundly Reformed.
		Edwards on the doctrines of the faith, and feels, as he did, that these issues are central to the Christian experience, one will wish that all could be exposed to these writings.

		Jonathan Edwards wrote these words in his Preface to A Careful and Strict Inquiry Into the Prevailing Notions of the Freedom of the Will to encourage his readers to read his inquiry carefully seeking to obtain knowledge of the truth.
		Edwards continues to discuss the determination of the will declaring that it is determined by "that motive, which as it stands in the view of the mind, is the strongest" (Edwards 5).
		Edwards overriding concern with this remains that while this view defended the omnipotence of God it aimed to save the dignity of man; he remained faithful to the idea that the will of man was determined by motives outside of his control (Winslow 22).

	Jonathan Edwards: An Appreciation
		Jonathan Edwards was born on October 5, 1703, the fifth child and first son of eleven children born to Timothy and Esther Edwards.
		Edwards was in the midst of a rigorous defense of justification by faith, experiencing criticism for his stout Reformed biblicism, when the massive work of conversion and refreshment occurred.
		Edwards was not that way, but some of his followers have been and in so doing they completely reversed the theological concerns of Edwards.

		Edwards' conservative Calvinism led him also to oppose the rationalistic philosophy and theology of the Enlightenment that came to be such an important element of American life.
		Edwards grew up at the apex of a rural society whose social organiztion was based on deference, with social position shaped by personal and family relationships to an extent largely unknown in modern society (though there are exceptions; see George Bush).
		Edwards was influenced by Locke's epistemology, was familiar with the work of Newton and later assimilated Newton into his theological work, and had a more positive view of the natural world than his 17th Puritan forebears.

	Jonathan Edwards (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Jonathan Edwards was born on October 5, 1703, in East Windsor, Connecticut, to Congregationalist pastor Timothy Edwards (1669-1758) and his wife Esther (1672-1770), the daughter of preacher Solomon Stoddard (1643-1729).
		Edwards continued as the Northampton church’s pastor until 1750, when he was dismissed for not allowing unconverted members of the church to partake of the Lord’s Table, contra his grandfather’s teaching.
		After Edwards left the pastorate in Northampton he went to Stockbridge, Massachusetts, to minister at a Congregational mission church that had a significant population of Housatonic and Mohawk Indians.

	The Theology of Jonathan Edwards Expressed in Terms of Higher Dimensions
		If scholars would study the theology of Edwards in the light of higher dimensions, which defines God as a more unified Being rather the doctrine of the Trinity, based upon the non-Biblical word "homoousios," and established about sixteen centuries ago, a reconciliation between Jews and Christians might gradually begin to develop.
		It is this relationship, this linkage, of the spirit to the mind that supports the concept that the theology and teaching of Jonathan Edwards has a "new sense," "spiritual sense," or "sense of the heart." This spiritual sense is, I would argue, not different from the content of ordinary consciousness.
		Edwards repeatedly states that the divine light does not merely shine upon the minds of the elect but is communicated to them, and enters into them, in such a way that it becomes an "indwelling principle" that enables their natural faculties to operate in a new unprecedented fashion.

	Theology of Discernment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Jonathan Edwards was a cessationist and only a calculated revisionist's recall of "history" could overlook that inescapable fact.
		Therefore, because Jonathan Edwards indisputably demonstrates in his writings (referenced above) both that he is a cessationist and why, DeArteaga has inadvertently called the cessationist beliefs of the historical figure he and Vineyard point to as the cornerstone of their movement - "the predominant theologian of this revival" - heretical.
		Furthermore, one would never have found Jonathan Edwards emphasizing the "prophetic", reducing the third Person of the Triune Godhead, the Holy Spirit, to an "it" on innumerable occasions, while not even concurrently mentioning Jesus Christ, of whom the Holy Spirit is to testify.

		The author argues that what underlies Edwards' writings is a radical shift from the traditional Western metaphysics of substance and form to a new conception of the world as a network of dispositions: active and abiding principles that possess reality apart from their manifestations in actions and events.
		Edwards' dispositional ontology enables him to restate the Augustinian-Calvinist tradition in theology in a strikingly modern philosophical framework.
		Edwards' achievement was that he saw dynamic movement as essential to God's own life without compromising the traditional Christian tenets of God's prior actuality and transcendence.

		The four national conference on Edwards held during the past 15 years have attracted an interdisciplinary group of historians, philosophers, theologians and scholars of literature.
		It is refreshing to read constructive theology based on the creative retrieval of a voice from the tradition, instead of the dismissive caricatures one often finds--caricatures that function merely as a foil to the author's own proposal.
		Yet Daniel is exactly right to probe the theological implications of what Edwards called his "new concept of being." For Edwards, God's reality is to be understood as a dispositional, communicative harmony rather than as an immutable, self-contained substance, and this makes his conceptions of the Trinity and of God's relationship to creatures surprisingly contemporary.
