Recent studies of Jonathan Edwards have assessed his views only as a historical phenomenon. In this book, Jenson examines his views not only by their originality or power or historical fruitfulness, but by their intention of truth, asking not only `Why was Edwards great?' but `Was Edwards right?'.
a sparkling, lively, enthusiastic but properly critical study of the greatest Reformed theologian North America has yet produced by the outstanding dogmatician working today in the American Lutheran Church ... The book is well and attractively presented and laid out.
