Gerald R McDermott, Professor of Religion, Roanoke College, USA

"McDermott did an excellent job creating...a volume for beginners mapping various themes and issues so that people can take a first step into Edwards studies. Those teaching classes on Edwards will no doubt be grateful, and those looking for an introduction to Edwards' ideas will find a helpful roadmap." - Kyle Strobel, Themelios
