To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And though, as I have said, individually he was not dis- tinctly informed by the historical spirit, yet he is in the line of the historical succession of Christian theologians. Turning to these distinctive contributions I have time to name only one ; but that one has been of immense historical importance in America. Jonathan Edwards changed what I may call the centre of thought in American theological thinking. There were great theologians in New England before Edwards. I mention only John Nort...on of Ipswich, and Samuel Willard of Harvard. They followed the Reformed School Divines not only in making the decree of God the constitutive doctrine of the system, but in em- phasizing it. Edwards did not displace the eternal Decree as the constitutive doctrine ; but by a change in emphasis he lifted into the place of first importance in theological thinking in America the in- ward state of man in nature and in grace. He appears to have been led strongly to emphasize these related themes, partly by the Great Awakening, and partly by the controversy on the Half-way Cove- nant which followed it.
