In this accessible one-volume text, leading Edwards experts Oliver Crisp and Kyle Strobel introduce readers to the formiƯdable mind of Jonathan Edwards as they survey key theological and philosophical themes in his thought, including his doctrine of the Trinity, his philosophical theology of God and creation, and his understanding of the atonement and salvation.
