I usually read every Edwards book that comes out, if I can, so I’m sure I’ll get it. My post was based on an article I have submitted to Church History. I won’t hear back for several more months about it, but the Chauncy / Edwards interactions run throughout the background of the article. Congratulations on landing a publisher for your dissertation, I submitted mine to one in June and have yet to hear back. You have to love publishers!

I was very impressed by your observations and questions, which are addressed in part in my forthcoming book on Edwards. I would like to know your thoughts further. See Jonathan Edwards’s Apologetic for the Great Awakening (with particular attention to Charles Chauncy’s criticisms) by Reformation Heritage Books, 2011. It is a revision of my dissertation, and should come out by April.

All the best,

Bob

But it seems that many important issues in government and theology, were being worked out in the era even of Edwards.

For example: would it be inaccurate to say that in effect, Chauncy’s opponents, the “Edwardians,” won in 1776? When the “Establishment Clause” – no official church for the new nation of America – effectively stonewalled any very firm or powerful church hierarchy. One that would have united church and state. As they had been united in England.
