Jonathan Edwards and the Gospel of Love

Ronald Story, Jonathan Edwards and the Gospel of Love published by Historic Northampton Museum and Education Center, 2008.

In one of the most recent contributions to Edwards studies, Ronald Story examines Edwards's legacy and how it has been constructed and reconstructed over the last two centuries. Story argues that an essential element of Edwards's thought and work has been filtered out by theologians and historians alike. The "real" Edwards, Story contends, must include not only his jeremiads and his Enlightenment reflections but also his neglected writings that suggest that love of beauty, harmony, and humanity as well as fear of God have a place in the firmament.
