Much attention has been given to Edwards in relation to his Puritan and Calvinist forebears. McClymond, however, examines Edwards in relation to his eighteenth-century intellectual context. In each of six chapters, he contextualizes and interprets some text or issue in Edwards within the emergent post-Lockean, post-Newtonian culture of the English-speaking world of the 1700's. Among the topics considered are spiritual perception, metaphysics, contemplation, ethics and morality, and apologetics.Religion in America series (Oxford University Press)TheologyEarly works to 1800Theology230.58092230/.58/092McClymond Michael James1958-1503511MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778717603321Encounters with God3731964UNINA
