This is now the place to begin for people interested in the trinitarian nature of Edwards' thought and its importance to the history of theology.' Douglas A. Sweeney, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, USA 'One of the main areas of historic and contemporary debate about Jonathan Edwards' thought concerns the shape of his Trinitarianism, and its place in his work, relative to his other distinctive contributions to Christian theology. In this book Robert Caldwell and Steven Studebaker have brought together many of the major texts in this dispute.
