'Giving honour to the Spirit' : a critical analysis and evaluation of the doctrine of pneumatological union in the Trinitarian theology of Jonathan Edwards in dialogue with Karl Barth
No full textThe extent to which the 'honour' of the Spirit influenced the theology of
Jonathan Edwards is a hitherto underdeveloped theme. Against a backdrop of
Patristic thought and in dialogue with the theology of Karl Barth, evaluation is
made of pneumatological union in Edwards' Trinitarian theology as this centres
on the nature and inter-relatedness of the 'three unions' that characterize his
theology: the union of the three Persons of the Trinity, the union of the saints
with God, and the union of the divine and human natures of Christ.
Edwards' seeks to honour the Spirit as the mutual love of the Father for the Son
within his Augustinian, Lockean model of the immanent Trinity, and as 'Person'
in the economy. The challenges of doing so within the limits of this
psychological model of the Trinity are evaluated in dialogue with the
Cappadocian Fathers and Barth.
In a manner patterned after union in the Trinity, Edwards gave prominence to the
concept of the pneumatological union of the saints with God in Christ, in
fulfilment of the self-glorifying purpose of God in creation and redemption.
Edwards' experiential theology of conversion, and his elevation of subjective
sanctification by the Spirit over objective justification in Christ, for assurance, is
contrasted with Barth's greater emphases on the Christological union of God
with humanity and objective justification in Christ. Barth's more contemplative
approach is contrasted with the overly introspective spirituality of Edwards.
Edwards' view of the role of the Spirit in the hypostatic union of God with
humanity in Christ, which is reflective of the other unions, is also evaluated in
light of Patristic, Reformed-Puritan and Barthian thought on the nature of the
humanity Christ assumed, and the doctrine of the vicarious humanity of Christ. A
more emphatic incarnational emphasis may have saved Edwards' Spirit-
honouring spirituality from an anthropocentricity which is ironical given that the
glory of God is his ontic doxological concern
Truce grace is divine : special grace as participation in divine fullness in the thought of Jonathan Edwards
No full textThis project is an exploration of Jonathan Edwards’s doctrine of grace as divine participation, with the aim of providing resources for Reformed engagement with soteriological participation thought. Soteriological participation, often termed theosis or divinisation or deification, is favoured in a range of theological traditions. Edwards scholars increasingly characterise Edwards’s thought with the term theosis. This study modifies this characterisation by arguing that Edwards’s soteriological participation thought is best captured in his category of divine or true grace. This divine grace is a communication and participation in divine fullness, where the divine fullness is both infinitely above created nature and yet not the divine essence. This concept allows Edwards to navigate the creator-creature distinction in ways that support key Reformed interests. Edwards’s soteriological participation (grace) is not a departure from his tradition, but rather a sympathetic development of it for the purposes of its support and defence. I demonstrate this by showing Edwards’s distinction between created nature and divine fullness, which allows him to promote Reformed understandings of gratuity. At the same time divine fullness is carefully distinguished from the divine essence, preserving divine transcendence while at the same time allowing intimacy between creator and creature. Edwards navigates this creatorcreature distinction and relation, in part, by employing two complementary approaches to participation thought: one is ontological participation that undergirds created nature, and the other is a relational participation that explains divine grace. Created nature finds its teleological fulfilment in this relational, soteriological participation in the divine Trinity. Thus, nature is fulfilled in grace. This work helps clarify how true grace differs from both created nature and the divine essence, and yet relates them relationally and teleologically. In so doing it provides Reformed theology with new resources for engaging soteriological participation thought from the vantage point of its own tradition

Communion with God and the Means of Grace in the Spirituality of Jonathan Edwards
No full textJonathan Edwards marks a pivotal transition in the history of Christian spirituality. During an era of rapid change, Edwards sought to preserve his Puritan tradition, but through his creative defense, reshaped that heritage in the forge of disruptive revival. In the history of Christian piety, Jonathan Edwards denotes the death of Puritan spirituality and the birth of evangelical spirituality. Chapter one introduces Edwards in his changing context and orients him in the setting of social and religious upheaval. After an evaluation of recent developments in the field of Edwardsean studies, the thesis is presented and a summary of the argument. Chapter two explores the heritage of Puritanism and its bearing on Edwards’ spirituality. After an examination of the historiography of Puritanism, this chapter demonstrates how Edwards employed elements from a mystical and contemplative branch of Puritans by invoking themes of evangelical humiliation, transformative contemplation, and ravishment by divine beauty. Chapter three overviews recent debates over Edwards’ doctrine of God and suggests that Edwards stayed consistent with the Augustinian psychological model while further developing the role of the Holy Spirit, who binds the soul of the saint to the community of God and enables the saints’ communion and participation in the divine. Within this framework, the means of grace function as sovereignly prescribed conduits to distribute grace from God through this union. Chapter four examines the key means of grace Edwards often promoted, and how they functioned within his theological paradigm. The means of grace observed include Word, prayer, meditation, contemplation, conferencing, fasting, sabbath, and the sacraments. Through participation in these spiritual habits, God produces godly affections that elevated the soul to communion with God. Chapter five demonstrates how Edwards cultivated models to exemplify his vision for the Christian life, not only through his own example, but through two publicized proxies for Edwardsean spirituality: the missionary David Brainerd and Edwards’ wife, Sarah Edwards. Chapter six evaluates the legacy of Edwardsean spirituality, particularly as adopted and adapted by the New Divinity schoolmen. Three trajectories of Edwardsean theology had unintended influence on future generations: (1) Edwards teaching on original sin and the will, (2) Edwards ambiguity on the atonement, and (3) Edwards ethics and teaching on true virtue. Chapter seven concludes the argument of this dissertation while noting important contributions made to the field of Edwardsean studies because of this research and proposing possibilities for future research. Finally, Edwards relevance for contemporary evangelicalism is considered
