Jonathan Edwards, a towering figure in the history of American theology, was both a great American and a brilliant Christian. This definitive biography draws on newly available sources to reveal how the internationally famous preacher was shaped by cultural and religious battles of his time and how he struggled to reconcile his Puritan heritage with the secular world emerging out of the Enlightenment., "This is the finest biography of Edwards that I have read. It will be the standard benchmark for Edwards scholarship for generations to come."-Harry Stout, Yale University

Synopsis
Winner of the Bancroft Prize - Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography - Finalist for the American Society of Church History's Philip Schaff Prize "The finest biography of this towering figure. . . . Marsden guides readers through Edwards's profoundly alien world with authority and fluidity."--Benjamin Schwarz, Atlantic Monthly A controversial theologian and the author of the famous sermon Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God , Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) ignited the momentous Great Awakening of the eighteenth century. In this definitive and long-awaited biography, Jonathan Edwards emerges as both a great American and a brilliant Christian. George Marsden evokes the world of colonial New England in which Edwards was reared--a frontier civilization at the center of a conflict between Native Americans, French Catholics, and English Protestants. Drawing on newly available sources, Marsden demonstrates how these cultural and religious battles shaped Edwards's life and thought. Marsden reveals Edwards as a complex thinker and human being who struggled to reconcile his Puritan heritage with the secular, modern world emerging out of the Enlightenment. In this, Edwards's life anticipated the deep contradictions of our American culture. Meticulously researched and beautifully composed, this biography offers a compelling portrait of an eminent American., Winner of the Bancroft Prize * Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography * Finalist for the American Society of Church History's Philip Schaff Prize "The finest biography of this towering figure. . . .

  • A compelling investigation of Jonathan Edwards

    This is a compelling look at a major intellectual and spiritual presence and the family and world that produced him. Highly recommend for those who want to go beyond "Sinners in the hands of an Angry God".
