[This book] does two valuable services. First, it places Edwards on a scholarly map which joins English and American theatres of philosophy. And secondly, it celebrates a discourse which criticized the new mechanistic philosophies, a discourse which needs to be digested before being injected into modern debates over nature and transcendent meaning, as some readers of Edwards are wont to do.
"It is compelling and profound...It will pay dividends to the reader who wants to struggle with the relationship between the material reality of the world as presented by modern science and the spiritual realities of a God-driven world as implied in the gospel.'
This is an informative volume that situates Edwards in a broad context of early modern religious response to the Enlightenment mechanical philosophy; which divorced nature from spirit. Comparing the American philosopher-theologian Edwards to the likes of Donne, Pascal and Leibniz, Zakai shows that rather than simply reasserting religious claims, Edwards articulated a singularly sophisticated response to the New Science - appropriating what he could while also reconceiving a religious view of the cosmos.
'A stunning achievement, this sustained analysis delineates Edwards's response to early modern science. It positions Edwards with others (like Donne and Pascal) who thought its presuppositions and procedures radically challenged Trinitarian Christianity. While relentlessly criticizing heresies (like Arianism, Socinianism and Deism), Edwards labored to re-invigorate study of the "book of nature" -- through typological exegesis of scripture not mathematical analysis. Philosophically rejecting Newtonian science, Edwards advanced his theology of divine self-disclosure: God creates, sustains, directs and redeems nature and history alike.' - John F. Wilson, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, USA.
Reviewed by Don Schweitzer, St. Andrew's College, Saskatoon, Canada to appear in the Toronto Journal of Theology (Canada) 'Zakai's study of Edwards in relation to the secularizing trends of early Western modernity offers an insightful and exemplary history of ideas in the early modern period that will be a 'must read' for all Edwards scholars.'
