10. Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758)
(1) He was born in 1703 at East Windsor, Connecticut. In 1716 he went to Yale University as a student and later became a tutor there.
(2) He had a conversion experience in 1720, and in 1727 became minster of the Congregational Church at Northampton in Massachusetts.
(3) In 1734/35 revival was arising from his own preaching, and from 1740 arising out of the ministry of George Whitefield in New England.
(4) He was dismissed by the congregational in 1750, and in1751 he went to Stockbridge as a missionary to the Indian and while there wrote a number of his greater works.
(5) He was invited to be president of the College of New Jersey (Princeton University) in 1757, and reluctantly accepted.
(6) He was inoculated against smallpox in1758, because of an epidemic, but died soon after from the side-effect.
(7) He was both a defender and a critic of the revivals of his time. He notorious sermon on Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God. in which he laid especial stress on God's wrath, was one of those which sparked off revival.
(8) He wrote A Faithful Narration in 1737, in which he describes the effects of the earlier revival. And he wrote his Religious Affections (the heart, emotions, will) in 1747, in which he examined the nature of true religion.
(9) People can be fervent, lead to an outward change of life, lead to confidence before God and to moving testimonies - yet without there being a true change of heart (heart religion), that is to say, born again (regeneration), but he warns powerfully about the dangers of being a superficial emotionalism.
(10) He had determined to object Arminianism, and so he wrote The Christian Doctrine of Original Sin Defended. His best known book is The Freedom of the Will, published in 1754.
(11) He has been called the greatest American philosopher and revivalist for the churches. He was the father of New England Theology.
