Widely regarded as perhaps America's greatest theologian, Jonathan Edwards still suffers the stereotype of hellfire preacher obsessed with God's wrath. In this anthology, Gerald McDermott and Ronald Story seek to correct that common view by showing that Edwards was also a compassionate, socially conscious minister of the first order... Jonathan Edwards was a worldly as well as spiritual reformer who resisted the materialistic, acquisitive, and individualistic currents of American culture.
