Recenzje

'Learned, lively and engaged, the distinguished essays in this collection demonstrate both the scope and depth of Edwards's thought, and its import for a range of Christian theological traditions.' John Webster, University of St Andrews, UK ’The Ecumenical Edwards offers a treasure trove of insights on the relationship of one of the greatest theologians in the Reformed tradition to the grand traditions of Christian theology as represented by Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and other Protestant thinkers. Here is an all-star international ecumenical line-up of analysts who are critical as well as sympathetic in assessing Edwards’s contributions to discussions of some of the most profound theological issues.’ George M. Marsden, University of Notre Dame, USA and author of Jonathan Edwards: A Life ’This volume makes a serious contribution to Edwards studies. It brings together an eminent cast of commentators who tackle a vital range of questions. No one interested in Edwards the theologian can fail to be enriched by these essays. Highly recommended.’ George Hunsinger, Princeton Theological Seminary, USA 'All in all, these essays mark an exciting and productive new theological trend. Edwards is joining the ranks of the doctors of the church - and not merely among Protestants. May Strobel’s tribe increase.' Sweeney's Booknotes
