Distinguished Lectureship. To

Here's a little bit about the talk and our speaker:
You may know Jonathan Edwards as a leader of the Great Awakening and for his famous sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of Angry God,” and consequently think of him as just another Puritan. Edwards is, however, widely regarded today as America’s greatest theologian. Despite being in so many ways the godfather of evangelicalism, Edwards was a highly original thinker, in fact, founding the philosophy of idealism in America. His work in theology was no less original, whether his treatment of the Trinity, original sin, and even the most interesting innovation, his belief in “continual creation.” What else should we expect of a man who went to Yale at age thirteen?
At the next Theology on Tap, Dr. Oliver Crisp will explore Jonthan Edward’s creative and peculiar theology in his talk, “Was Jonathan Edwards Theologically Orthodox?”
More about our speaker: Dr. Crisp is professor of systematic theology at Fuller Theological Seminary. After receiving his PhD from the University of London, he taught at the University of Bristol and the University of Aberdeen. His work covers a broad range of specialties from philosophical to historical theology. Dr. Crisp has been published in numerous academic journals, and he has written several books, including most recently Revisioning Christology: Theology in the Reformed Tradition, (2011) and Jonathan Edwards on God and Creation, (2012).
