A Response to Reviewers of A History of Christian Conversion
The Book of Exodus: A Biography. By Joel S. Baden
In this contribution to the Lives of Great Religious Books series, Joel Baden, a professor of Hebrew Bible at Yale Divinity School, guides his readers on a thematic tour of the Book of Exodus, beginning chronologically with its prehistory and concluding with its modern appropriation by liberation theologians. Over the centuries, Baden avers, the attraction of Exodus has been not the book per se but the story embedded in the book—the compelling st…
Jonathan Edwards: An Introduction to His Thought by Oliver D. Crisp and Kyle C. Strobel
Jonathan Edwards, Petitionary Prayer, and the Cognitive Science of Religion
The contemporary field of cognitive science proposes that religion (1) is a natural evolutionary development and (2) involves a two-system model of reasoning that, in a Christian context, moves from basic beliefs in God to a theological elaboration of those beliefs. The transition from natural religion to theology can lead to tensions, if not contradictions in thinking. An examination of the writings of Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758) on petitionary…
Jonathan Edwards, the Bible, and Conversion: Biblical Exegesis in British North America
David W. Kling explores the exegetical foundations of Jonthan Edwards’ understanding of conversion. Given the importance of revivalism in Edwards’ career, one cannot deny the preeminent place of conversion in his thought and preaching. Yet fundamental to that doctrine was Scripture’s teaching on the nature of conversion. Kling probes this topic by treating the role of the Bible in Edwards’ own conversion, distinct as it was from the reigning mode…
The Bible and the People
On the basis of Ferrell's invitation to guest-curate an exhibition at the Huntington Library, The Bible and Its People is a lively, amply illustrated, and enthralling story of the histories of Bibles as cultural artifacts. Since the Huntington collection consists almost exclusively of English and American Bibles produced from the eleventh to the twenty-first centuries, Ferrell's biography of Bibles is by necessity selective—and thankfully so, con…
The New Divinity and the Origins of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions
The theological influence of the New Divinity in the formation and character of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) is uncontested among scholars of American religious history and missions. Since the mid nineteenth century, both partisans of missions and nearly all scholarly observers have attributed the origins of the modern American Protestant missionary spirit to the writings of Jonathan Edwards and his self-appoin…

Religiosity is Associated with Affective Status in Symptomatic HIV-infected African-American Women
This study examined the relationship between religiosity and the affective and immune status of 33 HIV-seropositive mildly symptomatic African-American women (CDC stage B) in a replication of a prior study that reported an association between religiosity and affective and immune status in HIV-seropositive gay men. All women completed an intake interview, a set of psychosocial questionnaires, and provided a venous blood sample. Consistent with pri…

The New Divinity and Williams College, 1793-1836
The story is a familiar one, found in nearly every narrative text of American religious history In the summer of 1806, five Williams College students met in a grove of trees to pray for divine guidance and to discuss their religious faith and calling. While seeking refuge from a summer rainstorm under a haystack, Samuel J. Mills, Jr., and the other four students consecrated their lives to overseas missions. This incident, later publicized as the …

A Field of Divine Wonders: The New Divinity and Village Revivals in Northwestern Connecticut, 1792-1822
It began as a trickle in 1792, but by century's end northwestern Connecticut was awash in revival. In 1799 Edward Dorr Griffin wrote that he could stand at his doorstep in Litchfield County and number fifty or sixty congregations laid down in one field of divine wonders. Griffin was one of the leading ministers whose electrifying preaching triggered the Second Great Awakening - the subject of this award-winning study. A Field of Divine Wonders fo…
