- catalog abstract ""This is a study of how American theologian Jonathan Edwards (1703-58) responded to the Deist challenge to Christianity. Using a wide array of published and unpublished materials, McDermott argues that Edwards was preparing before his death a sophisticated theological response to Enlightenment religion that was surprisingly generous toward non-Christian traditions. He shows how Edwards refashioned critical Reformed loci in order to defend God's goodness and justice in dealing with the "heathen" world."--BOOK JACKET.".
