From Every Tribe and Nation: A Historian’s Discovery of the Global Christian Story by Mark A. Noll
Jonathan Edwards and the Future of Global Christianity
World Christianity today is quite different from what it was a century ago. Roman Catholics, Evangelicals, and Pentecostals in Africa, Asia, and Latin America will shape the twenty-first-century theological agenda. A new agenda needs to be scripturally based, open to vibrant, Spirit-led experience, engaged with non-Christian religions, and ecumenically fruitful. Surprising as it may sound, the writings of eighteenth-century thinker Jonathan Edwar…
Mormons and Evangelicals: Reasons for Faith – By David E. Smith
The Oxford Handbook of Evangelical Theology
This book surveys the state of the discipline on topics of greatest importance to evangelical theology. Evangelical theology is a burgeoning field. Evangelicals have been growing in numbers and prominence worldwide, and the rise to academic prominence of evangelical historians, scripture scholars, ethicists, and theologians—many of whom have changed the face of their disciplines—has demonstrated the growing maturity of this movement's intellectua…
What is “Evangelical”
Evangelical theology is a burgeoning field. This volume surveys the state of the discipline on topics of greatest importance to evangelical theology. Each chapter has been written by a theologian or scholar who is widely recognized for his or her published work and is considered a leading thinker on that topic.
Understanding Jonathan Edwards
Many books have been published on Jonathan Edwards (1703-58), widely regarded as the greatest American theologian. Some are by experts who typically write only for fellow specialists. Others are by popular authors who are unaware of recent scholarly discoveries. This book contains chapters based on the latest research on the subject of Edwards and the result is an introduction to North America’s most important religious mind on subjects he consid…
Understanding Jonathan Edwards: An introduction to America's theologian
"This is the first introduction to Jonathan Edwards (1703-58), widely regarded as the greatest American theologian, by scholars for non-scholars. In accessible language some of the world's best Edwards scholars introduce subjects Edwards considered vitally important: revival, Bible, typology, aesthetics, literature and preaching, philosophy and world religions. " -- Publisher's description.

Poverty, Patriotism, and National Covenant: Jonathan Edwards and Public Life
In this essay I address three ways in which Edwards can inform Christian understanding of public life. First I show how Edwards provides both philosophical and theological rationales for social engagement and thereby resists the separation of religion from public life, and use his consideration of poverty as an illustration. Part II examines Edwards's dialectical treatment of patriotism, demonstrating both its importance to the Christian life and…
Richard Hooker: Prophet of Anglicanism
Richard Hooker (1554-1600) is the premier theologian of the Church of England, famed for his prophetic apologia of what would later be called Anglicanism in his Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity. To the present day, his advocacy of a tolerant, inclusive, moderate, even pragmatic middle way between fundamentalist Protestantism and the more rigid expressions of Roman Catholicism is a hallmark of Anglican/Episcopal Churches. Hooker's insistence t…

Jonathan Edwards and American Indians: The Devil Sucks Their Blood
ONATHAN EDWARDS (1703-58), American theologian who for two hundred fifty years has terrified readers with his escription of an angry God, had little but contempt for Indian religions. When trying to refute English Nonconformist John Taylor's notion of an innate human capacity for religious knowledge, Edwards played American Indians as his trump card. What did Europeans find when they came to America and discovered a people who had had benefit of …

One Holy and Happy Society: The Public Theology of Jonathan Edwards
Jonathan Edwards (1703-58) was arguably this country's greatest theologian and its finest philosopher before the nineteenth century. His school of disciples (the "New Divinity") exerted enormous influence on the religious and political cultures of late colonial and early republican America. Hence any study of religion and politics in early America must take account of this theologian and his legacy. Yet historians still regard Edward's social the…
