Jonathan Edwards Confronts the Gods: Christian Theology, Enlightenment Religion, & Non-Christian Faiths

by Gerald R. McDermott

This is a study of how American theologian Jonathan Edwards (1703-58) battled deist arguments about revelation and God's fairness to non-Christians. Author Gerald McDermott argues that Edwards was preparing before his death a sophisticated theological response to Enlightenment religion that was unparalleled in the eighteenth century and surprisingly generous toward non-Christian traditions.
