A collection of essays tracing the development of theology in New England following Jonathan Edwards.
Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) is widely regarded as one of the major thinkers in the Christian tradition and as the greatest American theologian to date.
After Jonathan Edwards: The Courses of the New England Theology is a collection of specially commissioned essays that track Edwards' intellectual legacy from the work of his immediate disciples that formed the New Divinity movement in colonial New England, to his impact upon European traditions and modern Asia.
It is a unique interdisciplinary contribution to the reception of Edwardsian ideas, with scholars of the great Puritan being brought together with scholars of New England theology and early American history to produce a groundbreaking examination of the ways in which New England Theology flourished, how themes in Edwards's thought were taken up and changed by representatives of the school, and its lasting influence on the shape of American Christianity.
