A competent and insightful book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Stephen R. Holmes demonstrates a comprehensive and competent knowledge of Jonathan Edwards' theology. Holmes examines the influence of the Enlightenment and men such as Locke and Newton as well as giving attention to Edwards' firm place in the Purtian and Reformed traditions of the church. He also demonstrates a thorough knowledge of everything Edwards penned; from the musings in Edwards' miscellanies to his published arguments in the Freedom of the Will,Original Sin and others. For Holmes, the center of Edwards' thought is on God's glory and how everything in Trinitarian relations and creation serves it. Edwards seeks to describe everthing in a way that gives glory to God. Holmes finds many of Edwards' arguments compelling but believes Edwards' understanding of election, hell and punishment do not contribute to the overall scheme of God's glory.
