The Philosophical Theology of Jonathan Edwards

Summary: Essential to Understanding Jonathan Edwards
Review: Sang Hyun Lee's book is the essential text on Edwards's metaphysics. Not everyone thinks he is right (though I, like most mainstream Edwards scholars, think he is) but every knowledgable scholar realizes that the path to understanding Edwards's metaphysics lies through Lee's work and not around it. The book is densely and carefully written, and at least one graduate student has embarrassed himself in print through failure to read as carefully as Lee wrote. In sum, it is a difficult but totally indispensable book, and whoever is seeking to understand Jonathan Edwards as a thinker must digest it.
