Jonathan Edwards and the Enlightenment

Dr. Josh Moody is Senior Pastor at Trinity Baptist Church in New Haven, Connecticut and received his Ph.D. in historical theology from Cambridge University.

In this learned and lively contribution to Edwards scholarship, Josh Moody seeks to account for the 'spark' in Edwards' career and to flesh out the 'organizing principle' of Edwards' ministry… This book goes a long way toward explaining why so many thinkers in our time continue to find the Edwards corpus so appealing.
