Glory of the Blessed Son

Adding her distinctive voice to lively conversations about the work and legacy of Jonathan Edwards, Larsen shows that Edwards thinks boldly about the freedom of the Father and the Son within their blessed fellowship in the Spirit.

She identifies profound insights into the relationship between the divine being and the divine economy by focusing on Edwards''s understanding of the Son as he undertakes the work of ad extra glorification-the work by which God is externally blessed through God''s communication to creatures. In addition to careful analyses of the ''covenantal'' and ''evocative'' registers in which Edwards describes the fittingness of the Son''s redemptive mission, Larsen concludes by drawing resources from Edwards''s Christology that speak to key issues of freedom and aesthetics in Reformed thought today.
