Publisher's Description
Jonathan Edwards (1703-58) is considered one of the greatest theologians and philosophers of evangelicalism, who also served as a pastor, missionary, and revival leader. By underscoring "Regeneration, Revival, and Creation" in Edwards's thought, this volume uniquely captures the need to delve into Edwards's theological and philosophical rationale for the revivals, alongside key questions concerning the historical context and Edwards's standing in his own tradition. This book gathers the work of scholars working in the areas of historical, systematic, and analytic theology, church history, psychology, and biology. It contains papers presented at the inaugural conference of the Jonathan Edwards Center at Gateway Seminary (JEC West). Bringing together some of the leading authorities as well as up-and-coming Edwards scholars working today, this collection advances the questions of regeneration, revival, and creation in fresh new ways. With contributions from: Adriaan Neele, Douglas Sweeney, Chris Woznicki, Obbie Tyler Todd, Peter Jung, Michael Haykin, Ryan J. Martin, Mark Rogers, Allen Yeh, Oliver Crisp, Walter Schultz, John Shouse, Rob Boss, Lisanne Winslow, and Robert Caldwell.

“This volume is must read for anyone interested in the most current trends and preoccupations of Edwards scholars from around the world.”
“Jonathan Edwards was a renowned eighteenth-century pastor, theologian, revival leader, philosopher, and missionary, and the ripple effects of his theology and ministry continue even today. Regeneration, Revival, and Creation addresses compelling aspects of Edwards’s teaching and displays the quality work of the inaugural conference of the Jonathan Edwards Center at Gateway Seminary. The seminary, the center, its board, editors Chris Chun and Kyle Strobel, and the contributors are to be commended on this fine achievement.”
“Serious scholarship on Jonathan Edwards has reached the point where it is hard to imagine anyone being able to say anything fresh or inviting. The editors and contributors to this fine collection show that there is still rich fruit to be harvested from the New England theologian-pastor-theologian who was a forest of insight in himself. In this case the contributors explore Edwards as an inspiration for personal ‘lived Christianity,’ group Christian renewal, and a God-oriented understanding of the physical realm. The general quality of the book is unusually high.”
