Resources On Jonathan Edwards

Jonathan Edwards (1703–58) is one of the most important figures in the history of American religion. He is arguably one of the greatest intellects in the history of America but he is equally controversial. Below are a series of essays and quotations and lectures on Edwards which represent something of a dissenting interpretation of Edwards.
