Grandson of Jonathan Edwards

Currently in community pricing is the 5 volume work of Timothy Dwight IV (Theology Explained, and Defended), the grandson of Jonathan Edwards. This is a theological work to say that least. Some previews of the work will tell you a good deal of effort, and thought was put into these works. I personally was taking a look at volume 3, and his discourse on regeneration. Does Dwight take and traditional reformed stance on regenration? Or does Dwight subscribe to the modern reformed perspective on regeneration? Not enough detail in the previews can't wait to read his discourse on the subject.

The going price in C.P is $20.00 with enough support I am sure when can get this five volume theology set for cheaper.

I'm in on this one already. All I have currently is a print copy of a sampling of Jonathan Edwards sermons. I would love to add this to library.

Still lots of bids have to be done to get for $16. We need to keep this thread on the top of the forum

When I saw the title of this thread, I immediately thought of Aaron Burr, who was also a grandson of Jonathan Edwards.

I have no interest in this work since it is basically (systematic) theology whereas my interest is in biblical theology, but I'll help you to keep this in view by posting this.

Some exurpts from an interesting article from Vol. 5: Westminster Theological Journal Volume 5. 1942 (1) (81-86). Philadelphia: Westminster Theological Seminary. logosres:gs-wtj-05;ref=VolumeNumberPage.V_5,_N_1,_p_83;off=1709

"Whether as tutor at Yale, as Academy head, or as President of Yale, Dwight was always a teacher of punctilious exactness, boundless enthusiasm, great sympathy, wide vision, and varied intellectual attainments.
Our author tells us that his students invariably regarded him with respect bordering on awe. They saw in this stately personality a “gentleman of exceptional distinction; a patriot who had marched with the heroes of the American Revolution; a divine whom many considered the country’s leading churchman; a poet and man of letters who from youth had been recognized for brilliantly diversified literary talents; a person who mingled with the world, accustomed to counseling those high in the state and nation” (p. 242)."

"President Dwight excelled also as an administrator. He transformed Yale College."

"His Theology: Explained and Defended was a textbook for fifty years in many sections of the country and as far away as Australia."

Scott,

thanks for the reminder! When I looked at this CP in the past, I thought "170 sermons from the grandson of some well known-theologian - so what" - your bolded line

"His Theology: Explained and Defended was a textbook for fifty years in many sections of the country and as far away as Australia."

brought me to reconsider ... I now think I won't want to miss the opportunity to get this at CP price today.
