Jonathan Edwards and the Metaphysics of Sin

Jonathan Edwards' unique perspective on sin presents an original contribution to philosophical theology, challenging traditional Reformed categories. This study reveals that understanding his theory requires viewing it as a standalone philosophical framework regarding the nature, origin, and transmission of sin. The resurgence of interest in Edwards' work, particularly with the Yale edition of his writings, underscores his significance as America's foremost philosopher-theologian, offering valuable insights into both his thought and the broader field of philosophical theology.
