Jonathan Edwards

Jonathan Edwards (October 5, 1703 - October 11, 1775) was a colonial American preacher and public figure, the father of New England Theology, and the grandfather and mentor of the American Fundamentalist Prophet Aaron Burr II, following the death of Burr's parents in a carriage accident. Without Edwards instilling in Burr a deep sense of religious awareness and self-importance, it is likely the AFC cult never would have began.
