Miss Winslow's brilliant portrayal of Jonathan Edwards reveals one of the most profound and controversial philosophical intellects in America's history. The book follows Edwards' life from the New England environment into which he was born, through his childhood, his student year at Yale, the Northampton pastorate which ended in the tragic rift with his people, the retreat to Stock-bridge as an Indian missionary and the final months at Princeton. Both his personal story and the confusions of the Great Awakening in which he played a decisive role and which brough far-reaching changes in American life are recounted with authority and genuine distinction. The result is an absorbing work of major importance to all interested in the history and culture of Amercia.
