Jonathan Edwards's Philosophy of History

Meer over het boek

Focusing on Jonathan Edwards's unique perspective, the book delves into his redemptive mode of historical thought against the backdrop of the Enlightenment. It highlights Edwards's significant role in American intellectual history and addresses the lack of thorough analysis of his philosophy of history. Zakai examines how Edwards's ideas respond to Enlightenment narratives, particularly their diminishing emphasis on theistic elements, offering a fresh exploration of Edwards's engagement with time and history.
