Book excerpt: Here is the first detailed textual and critical study in more than half a century of the New England theology of Jonathan Edwards, his disciples Bellamy, Hopkins, Emmons, and Dwight, and their nineteenth-century successors Taylor, Park, and Harris. Largely forgotten today, their quest for a consistent and coherent Calvinism over a period of two centuries is nevertheless of transforming significance for contemporary Protestant thought. Complete with annotated bibliographies and appendices.
