Jonathan Edwards And The New Calvinism

By Samuel Osgood

Book Overview

""Jonathan Edwards and the New Calvinism"" by Samuel Osgood is a comprehensive exploration of the theological and philosophical ideas of Jonathan Edwards, a prominent figure in American religious history. The book considers Edwards' influence on the New Calvinism movement, which emerged in the late 20th century and has become a significant force in contemporary evangelicalism. Osgood examines Edwards' views on topics such as predestination, the sovereignty of God, and the nature of sin and salvation, and shows how these ideas have been appropriated and developed by the New Calvinists. He also considers the social and cultural context in which Edwards lived and worked, and how this has shaped his theology and its reception. This book will be of interest to scholars of American religious history, theology, and philosophy, as well as to anyone interested in the ongoing debates within contemporary evangelicalism.THIS 38 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Studies in Christian Biography Or Hours with Theologians and Reformers, by Samuel Osgood.
