Description: "This book offers a new paradigm for understanding Jonathan Edwards as a religious thinker. Michael McClymond presents a comprehensive approach to Edwards in relation to his eighteenth-century intellectual context. In each of six chapters, the author contextualizes and interprets some text or issue in Edwards within the emergent post-Lockean, post-Newtonian culture of the English-speaking world of the 1700s.

Among the topics considered are spiritual perception, metaphysics, spirituality, ethics, history, and apologetics."--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 161-176) and index.
