Jonathan Edwards on the New Birth in the Spirit: An Introduction to the Life, Times, and Thought of America's Greatest Theologian - Softcover
As we see an anemic Christendom today in its witness, ethics, and influence, we find the correctives and the guidance we need in the works of Jonathan Edwards––revivalist preacher, philosopher, and theologian. In this insightful book, former pastor and missionary Peter Doyle presents Edwards’ theology in a comprehensive scope: in its cultural context, against its adversaries, and with all its practical and pastoral implications.
Doyle paints for readers a clear picture of how Edwards understands the ‘new birth’. A cursory treatment of being born again this is not. The great revivals under Edwards’ preaching gave to the converts a sense of the glory of God, their own sinfulness, and a humility before the sacrifice of Christ for their sin.
For a day when scientific knowledge, sexual interpretation, and moral laws are divorced from God, Edwards speaks. Doyle himself has drawn on these teachings in his own ministry, and he ably shows their importance and relevance today. Biblical truth in the hands of Edwards lives mightily. Edwards in the hand of Peter Doyle comes alive with his elegant writing, clarity of ideas, and love for the subject.

Review:
This book will be of interest to Edwards scholars. Among other things, it is proof that Karl Barth in his later years became aware of the intricacies of Edwards’s theology. Not all contemporary Edwards scholars will agree with everything they see here. For example, some like me will say that beauty for Edwards was not “essentially” moral but far more, and that while holiness was not the sole condition for justification in Edwards’s view, it was what he called “a secondary dependent and derivative worthiness.” For all those interested in Edwards’s writings on assurance, informed by scholarship before the 1980s, this work will be of help.

Many thanks to Peter Doyle for seeing earlier than most that the doctrine of regeneration was the heart of Edwards’ of ministry, pumping spiritual life blood through the rest of his body of work. And thanks to Peter’s brother, Wright, and fellow Edwardsean, Brandon Cozart, for seeing this project through to publication. Their labor of love deserves a sympathetic audience.
