Life of David Brainerd

Jonathan Edwards (1703-58), theologian and religious leader of eighteenth century New England, left his impression on theological thinking not only in this country but throughout the entire Protestant world. There has been no collected edition of Edwards' works since that of Dwight completed in 1830, and as recently as a generation ago scholars were likely to describe Edwards as an anachronism and to classify him as a preacher of gore and hell-fire. In our time, many have begun to perceive the majesty and force of Jonathan Edwards' personality, and new investigation has revealed in his thinking a prophetic challenging of assumptions American has long entertained but has only lately been obliged to reexamine.Edwards, Jonathan is the author of 'Life of David Brainerd' with ISBN 9780300030044 and ISBN 0300030045.
