Jonathan Edwards, Pastor

History & Biography

“Patricia Tracy's investigation of the triumphs, tribulations, and final tragedy of Jonathan Edwards' pastoral career is a fascinating and thoughtful contribution to the large literature on America's most famous religious thinker. More effectively than any writer I know of, she has described the almost ineluctable course of events that led to his dismissal from the church in Northampton. . . . Reading this book was for me an absorbing and instructive pleasure; I expect that scholars and students alike would enjoy the same experience.”

The American Pietism of Cotton Mather

History & Biography
