It is indeed fitting that one of America's finest emerging theological minds, Gerald McDermott, edited this introduction to the Edwardsian canon. The editor's inclusion of many European scholars--including Eastern Europeans such as the highly-regarded Tibor Fabiny--demonstrates the continuing widespread impact of the American Colonial theologian of gracious affections and of "God's beauty."

Well organized (to include scholarly points and rejoinders, or counterpoints) and impeccably edited, this gem-like analysis of Edwards' approach to revivals, scripture, philosophy, and even the soteriological relevance of other religious traditions will benefit Edwards scholars, religious leaders, and theologians for years to come.
