 Calvin College - Spark - Winter 2003 - Jonathan Edwards at 300
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.
Today, the “historical Edwards” is of great interest, as scholars attempt to place him in the 18th-century context as a provincial aristocrat (or the closest thing New England had to an aristocracy) or a slave owner, or look at his views on gender.

Edwards rolled the tortures of the damned "as a sweet morsel under his tongue"; he was, Wasson concluded, a coldhearted scoundrel.
For Winslow, the "tragic pity" of Edwards was that he remained "the prisoner of his own ideas" and lacked the imagination to step free of the Calvinist theological system—the whole of it, from double predestination to the imputation of Adam's sin to all humanity.
Edwards was a monumental intellectual, an artist in the world of ideas; his mind was all; the colonial world was a happenstance, an insignificant distraction on the order of youthful frolics.

 Columbia University Record
The dying man is Jonathan Edwards, renowned 18th century New England minister, and his deathbed hallucinations are the action of The Flaming Spider: Jonathan Edwards in Northampton, the latest play by Austin Flint, senior lecturer in Columbia's Writing Division of the School of the Arts and departmental representative for literature/writing at General Studies.
Flint explains that Edwards' intellectual brilliance, oratorical skill and powerful use of metaphor--hell's agonies are like those of a spider held over a flame, for example--made him a very famous man, a sort of Puritan celebrity, who drew people to his sermons from as far away as Germany and England.
It was here that Edwards delivered the sermon for which he is best remembered: "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." Read as it too often is without knowledge of the circumstances that inspired it, the sermon leaves an austere and condemnatory impression of its author.
