Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christ-centered exegesis of Jonathan Edwards Jonathan Edwards is remembered for his sermons and works of theology and philosophy--but he has been overlooked as an exegete. Gilsun Ryu's The Federal Theology of Jonathan Edwards explores how exegesis drove Edwards's focus on the headship of Christ as second Adam--and likewise formed a foundation for his broader theological reasoning and writing, especially on Christ and the covenants. Edwards's distinctive emphases on exegesis, redemptive history, and the harmony of Scripture distinguish him from his Reformed forebears. Ryu's study will help readers appreciate Edwards's contribution as an exegetically informed Reformed theologian.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a theologian in the Reformed tradition, covenant theology was for Jonathan Edwards the internal scaffolding that gave shape to the biblical story of redemption. The establishment of the eternal rule of righteousness as the basis of the believer's communion with God and eternal happiness is a central theme beginning with the Covenant of Works, grounded in the eternal Covenant of Redemption, and culminating in the Covenant of Grace. It is the basis for the law-gospel distinction in Edwards and the early architects of federal theology. For the "God intoxicated" New England Puritan preacher, this was no dry academic exercise. Rather, it was a joyous and affectionate discovery and embrace of what God had ordained in eternity, what Christ accomplished in history on the cross, and what the Holy Spirit is doing and will complete in the church. This study grew out of current discussions in Reformed scholarship questioning aspects of traditional covenant theology. As a key transitional figure in the history of Reformed theology, Edwards's thinking is still relevant. The richness and depth of Edwards's vision of redemptive history provides a clear and comprehensive understanding of his Reformed soteriology and the role of evangelical obedience in justification.

Download or read book Jonathan Edwards and the Covenant of Grace written by Carl W. Bogue and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2009-01-05 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twentieth century discussions of Edwards' covenant theology frequently named a tension in the purity of Edwards' Calvinism. Was his insistent teaching on the covenant of grace suggestive of incipient Arminianism, or was Perry Miller correct in asserting that Edwards rejected the covenant, with its abridging of God's freedom, by his categorical insistence on God's absolute sovereignty in salvation? Bogue explores the breadth of Edwards' writing, including many unpublished manuscripts, and interacts with a broad spectrum of secondary works to demonstrate conclusively that Calvinism and the covenant of grace are entirely consistent and do not exclude one another. The covenant of grace is not a device of man acting autonomously; it is a provision of the eternal, sovereign, electing God. As set forth by Edwards, it is simply the way the sovereign God has committed Himself to carry out what He has decreed from all eternity pertaining to the redemption of sinners.
Book Synopsis Covenant of Redemption in the Trinitarian Theology of Jonathan Edwards by : Reita Yazawa
Download or read book Covenant of Redemption in the Trinitarian Theology of Jonathan Edwards written by Reita Yazawa and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-10-11 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, the immanent Trinity (God as in himself) has been criticized as abstract and impractical as opposed to the economic Trinity (God in relation to the world). Many scholars argue that the immanent Trinity is detached from the real life of believers and God's economic work of redemption and thus abstract and impractical. But is this assumption itself really true? What if the blueprint of God's work of redemption is already located in the immanent Trinity as the divine idea? What if Jonathan Edwards, arguably the American greatest theologian, expounds this doctrine as a vital driving force in his theology? Rediscovering the doctrine of the covenant of redemption will help us to see that the immanent Trinity actually is not abstract, but highly practical, simply because the redemption of the believers hinges on the divine plan located there. This study is a fruit of the recent convergence of the resurging doctrine of the Trinity and the renaissance of studies of Jonathan Edwards.

Book Synopsis Jonathan Edwards' Federal Theology in Exegetical Perspective by : Gilsun Ryu
Download or read book Jonathan Edwards' Federal Theology in Exegetical Perspective written by Gilsun Ryu and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation offers a reading of an overarching interpretive framework--the doctrinal harmony of the Bible--within which Jonathan Edwards attempted to understand the history of redemption. By examining similarities and differences between Edwards' federal theology and that of several sixteenth and seventeenth-century Reformed antecedents, it illuminates the distinctiveness of his thought in comparison with his Reformed forebears. Although Edwards shares with Reformed theologians such as Cocceius, Witsius, Mastricht, and Turretin the basic redemptive historical aspect of salvation, Edwards' emphasis on the redemptive historical theme as a necessary element of his biblical exegesis reflects a development of the federal theology. In probing Edwards' doctrine of the covenants of redemption, works, and grace, it becomes evident that Edwards' view of the history of redemption differs from that of Reformed orthodoxy. An example of this is found in his doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Edwards is bolder than the above representatives of Reformed orthodoxy in exploring the roles of the persons of the Trinity in the covenant of redemption. Edwards claims that Reformed orthodoxy's emphasis on only the Father and the Son as the agents of the covenant of redemption tends to weaken the role of the Holy Spirit. For Edwards, the Holy Spirit is not merely the deliverer of the benefit of the covenant of redemption, but is also the gift himself. The same is true for Edwards' doctrine of the covenant of works. While Edwards shares Reformed orthodoxy's understanding of the relationship between the law and the gospel, and of the Mosaic covenant as a new exhibition of the covenant of works, the difference between Edwards' and his Reformed forebears' understanding of the laws in the Mosaic covenant illumines Edwards' distinctive emphasis on the historical reality of salvation. Similarly, Edwards' focus on the historical perspective of salvation in his doctrine of the covenant of grace reveals that there is a similar but significant difference between the redemptive historical themes of Edwards and his Reformed forebears. This dissertation originates in direct response to the differences between Edwards and his predecessors mentioned above. While Edwards never wrote about his federal theology in a systematic manner, he drew his federal theology from exegetical principles which are based on his understanding of the Scriptural description of salvation. Edwards' understanding of the redemptive historical theme in the covenants of redemption, works, and grace consistently leads us to perceive Edwards' exegetical basis for his federal theology. Although the history of redemption functions as a significant motif for his federal theology, Edwards' use of various exegetical methods reveals that Edwards perceived a broader frame--the doctrinal harmony of the Bible--within which the redemptive historical theme lies. Edwards' key development with respect to redemptive history lies in the establishment of the consistent paradigm of the historical aspect of salvation through his insistence upon the doctrinal harmony of Scripture. Edwards' interpretive framework for understanding the history of redemption is examined in chapters exploring Edwards0́9 exegetical foundation for the covenants of redemption, works, and grace, and in a chapter on his ecclesiology. The analysis presented here strongly suggests that, as Edwards uses the doctrinal harmony of the Bible as the basis for his understanding of the history of redemption, Edwards appreciates the importance of biblical exegesis more than the systematic approaches of his Reformed forebears.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume of rare sermons and documents makes an unprecedented contribution to our understanding of the 'New England Theology' as it emerged from Jonathan Edwards and continued through Edwards Amasa Park. The introduction, prepared by two seasoned Edwards scholars, represents an acute and thought-provoking analysis of the intellectual and rheological underpinnings of the New England Theology. A rich, absorbing, and always engaging collection, this volume will be of great interest to Edwards scholars and general readers alike." --Harry S. Stout, Yale University "One of the problems in studying American theology in the eighteenth and nineteenth century is that many of the sources are not easily available. The New England Theology is a marvelous anthology of central writings. Aficionados may quibble because some valuable material was left out, but this is a great collection. The introductions and editorial work of the editors are also helpful and fair minded." --Bruce Kucklick, University of Pennsylvania "This volume, collecting the major representative writings of the American disciples of Jonathan Edwards, is the first of its kind and long overdue. In the hands of Sweeney and Guelzo, the 'New Divinity' movement emerges here as a grand story, told in the medium of theology that both reflected and shaped the new republic." --Kenneth P. Minkema, Yale University "Although both historians and the general public have become increasingly fascinated by Jonathan Edwards, many know little about the thinkers who tried to carry on his legacy. Douglas Sweeney and Allen Guelzo should be commended for assembling a marvelous collection of writings." --Catherine A. Brekus, University of Chicago Divinity School "In these judicious selections accompanied by crisp and illuminating introductions, Sweeney and Guelzo ably identify the vitality and scope of the New England Theology. If you want to know something of the flavor and substance of America's first indigenous theology, this volume is the place to begin." --David W. Kling, University of Miami "This collection of the New England Theology's primary texts clearly reveals both the continuing presence of Edwardsean thought and the diversity of its expression in the century following Jonathan Edwards's death." --Ava Chamberlain, Wright State University

Book Synopsis Jonathan Edwards by : Philip F. Gura
Download or read book Jonathan Edwards written by Philip F. Gura and published by Hill and Wang. This book was released on 2006-04-18 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important new biography of America's founding religious father. Jonathan Edwards was America's most influential evangelical, whose revivals of the 1730s became those against which all subsequent ones have been judged. The marvelous accomplishment of Philip Gura's Jonathan Edwards is to place the rich intellectual landscape of America's most formidable evangelical within the upheaval of his times. Gura not only captures Edwards' brilliance but respectfully explains the enduring appeal of his theology: in a world of profound uncertainty, it held out hope of an authentic conversion---the quickening of the indwelling spirit of God in one's heart and the consequent certitude of Godly behavior and everlasting grace. Tracing Jonathan Edwards' life from his birth in 1703 to his untimely death in 1758, Gura magnificently reasserts Edwards rightful claim as the father of America's evangelical tradition.

Book Synopsis Pentecostal Theology and Jonathan Edwards by : Amos Yong
Download or read book Pentecostal Theology and Jonathan Edwards written by Amos Yong and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-14 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings 'America's theologian' and one of the fastest growing forms of Christianity into dialogue. Edwards is a fruitful source for Pentecostal investigation for historical and theological reasons. Edwards and Pentecostals descend from a common historical tradition-North American Evangelicalism. From revivalism and religious/charismatic experience to pneumatology they also share common theological interests. Though sharing a common history and core theological concerns, no critical conversation between Pentecostals and Edwards and their fields of scholarship has occurred. This is the first volume that provides Pentecostal readings of Edwards' theology that contribute to Pentecostal theology and Edwards scholarship. The contributing essays offer examination of affections and the Spirit, God and Salvation, Church and culture; and mission and witness.
