Encounters with God: An Approach to the Theology of Jonathan Edwards - описание и краткое содержание, автор McClymond Michael J. (EN), читать бесплатно онлайн на сайте электронной библиотеки Lib-King.Ru.

This book offers a broad-based study of Jonathan Edwards as a religious thinker. Much attention has been given to Edwards in relation to his Puritan and Calvinist forebears. McClymond, however, examines Edwards in relation to his eighteenth-century intellectual context. In each of six chapters, he contextualizes and interprets some text or issue in Edwards within the emergent post-Lockean, post-Newtonian culture of the English-speaking world of the 1700s. Among the topics considered are spiritual perception, metaphysics, contemplation, ethics and morality, and apologetics.
