Nathaniel Taylor, New Haven Theology, and the Legacy of Jonathan Edwards

by Douglas A Sweeney

Published 19 December 2002

Nathaniel Taylor was arguably the most influential and the most frequently misrepresented American theologian of his generation. While he claimed to be an Edwardsian Calvinist, very few people believed him. This book attempts to understand how Taylor and his associates could have counted themselves Edwardsians. In the process, it explores what it meant to be an Edwardsian minister and intellectual in the 19th century.
