The Covenant Theology of Jonathan Edwards

“Paul Hoehner offers a powerful analysis of the theology of Jonathan Edwards, placing his thought lucidly in the context of his Reformed heritage. Combining theological acuity and great depth of historical learning, Hoehner’s book advances scholarship on Jonathan Edwards, on the Reformed theological tradition, and on Enlightenment religious thought.”


—Charles T. Mathewes, University of Virginia, Charlottesville





“Dr. Hoehner’s book is timely. As a gifted medical doctor, scientist, and theologian . . . he brilliantly provides the proper window to enter the beautiful and grand mountains of Edwards’s theology, philosophy, and doctrinal and practical implications. . . . This book is a balanced and proper guide for those who want to dive into Edwards’s theological and philosophical world and will certainly be a magnificent resource for Edwardsean scholarship for many years to come.”


—Jeong Koo Jeon, Faith Theological Seminary





“Paul Hoehner has provided us with a historically and theologically contextually sensitive treatment of Jonathan Edwards as a Reformed covenant or federal theologian. Hoehner interacts with recent criticisms of Edwards as to his Reformed bona fides. The author corrects numerous misunderstandings of Edwards and provides us with the lenses we need to not only read Jonathan Edwards appreciatively, but carefully and accurately. Hoehner has advanced Edwards studies, and scholars and interested readers will owe him a debt of gratitude. Hoehner shows that there is still more territory to traverse in Edwards scholarship. May his tribe increase!”
