en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 noi 2016

While Jonathan Edwards scholars have increasingly recognized the central role that the Trinity played in his thought, no work brings together Edwards' central texts on the Trinity and interprets and applies them to contemporary theological issues. This book reveals how the doctrine of the Trinity transformed Edwards' ministry and how the Trinity can inform current evangelical thought, life, and ministry. Key primary texts, interpretation, and application of Edwards' trinitarian theology are all presented here. Part one features Edwards' chief trinitarian writings and provides an in-depth analysis on his doctrine. Part two sets Edwards' trinitarianism in historical context. Part three demonstrates how Edwards employed the Trinity in his sermons, in spiritual formation, and in other areas of doctrine.

Prizes: Classified as 'Research Essential' by Baker & Taylor YBP Library Services A Yankee Book Peddler US Core Title for 2012 'This is an excellent introduction to Edwards' trinitarian thought, its historical significance and practical utility. It includes essential texts from Edwards' trinitarian corpus as well as learned and reliable exegesis of that corpus. This is now the place to begin for people interested in the trinitarian nature of Edwards' thought and its importance to the history of theology.' Douglas A. Sweeney, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, USA 'One of the main areas of historic and contemporary debate about Jonathan Edwards' thought concerns the shape of his Trinitarianism, and its place in his work, relative to his other distinctive contributions to Christian theology. In this book Robert Caldwell and Steven Studebaker have brought together many of the major texts in this dispute. They also argue that Edwards' Trinitarian theology has practical as well as theological application for contemporary dogmatics. This is a welcome addition to the literature, that will be read with profit by students and scholars of America's Theologian.' Oliver D. Crisp, University of Bristol, UK 'This book will be useful for seminary courses on Edwards or the Trinity, for scholars working on Edwards and theologians studying the Trinity.
