"The correlation between Eden and Jerusalem, the Holy Mountain of God, implies that Eden was also a mountain." Ref-1308, p. 55. "Only John gives the detail that there was a garden where Jesus was crucified (John 19:41). The first man, Adam, sinned in a Garden, and the last Adam atoned for sin in a garden and was entombed there. Mary Magdalene initially mistook the resurrected Lord for the gardener, a possible allusion to the vocation of the first man (John 20:15)." Lita Cosner, Jesus the Creator in the Gospel of John, 20151124151336.pdf, 56-61, p. 61. "It is worth noting that the garden is in Eden (Genesis 2:8), so Eden was a larger area than the spot occupied by the garden. “In the east” probably indicates that the garden was in the eastern part of the region." Lita Cosner and Robert Carter Where was Eden? part 1—examining pre-Flood geographical details in the biblical record, Ref-0784, volume 30(3) 2016, pp. 97-103

"Nothing was more distinctive about Puritanism than its encouragement of lay spirituality. Puritans promoted literacy for all because it was important for private, family, and neighborhood lay devotion. In the social meetings, neighbors prayed, studied together, taught and exhorted each other, and built each other up spiritually. Often women met separately, providing them opportunities outside their own homes for teaching and exercising other spiritual gifts." Ref-1348, p. 156. "With such large sums lavished on guns, roads, bridges, and dams to ensure peace and prosperity, why shouldn’t more be devoted to educating the young? A city’s greatest strength lay not in the vast treasures it had amassed or in the magnificent buildings it had erected but in the many able, honorable, and wise citizens it was able to produce." Ref-1522, p. 597. "The stress on schooling, literacy, libraries, and printing would become a hallmark of Protestantism, which looked to the Book rather than the pope for direction." Ref-1522, p. 710.

Edwards - Jonathan - Calvinism :

"Since childhood, as [Jonathan Edwards] later depicted it, he had been "full of objections against the doctrine of God's sovereignty, in choosing whom he would to external life, and rejecting whom he please; leaving them eternally to perish, and be everlastingly tormented in hell. It used to appear like a horrible doctrine to me. . . . He could not believe in God's total sovereignty, the doctrine at the very foundation of Calvinist teaching. Yet he was sure also that he had no hope on his own. . . . Even if he thought it was repulsively unfair, he deeply feared that the fires of hell awaited those who rebelled against God. He desperately wanted to trust in God, yet he could not believe in, let alone submit to, such a tyrant. In the midst of this turmoil, he had a breakthrough. Suddenly he became convinced that indeed God was just in "eternally disposing of men, according to his sovereign pleasure." The tortuous obstacle was removed. Later he remembered clearly when he had reached this conviction, but "never could given an account, how, or by what means, I was thus convinced; not in the least imagining, in the time of it, nor a long time after, that there was any extraordinary influence of God's Spirit in it; but only that now I saw further, and my reason apprehended the justice and reasonableness of it."" Ref-1348, pp. 40-41. "The proposition [Edwards] was defending [in his commencement oration] was most basic to "Reformed religion": "a sinner is not justified in the sight of God except through the righteousness of Christ obtained by faith." Arminian opponents of this Reformed formula argued that God justified sinners, at least in part, on the basis of their sincere repentance and reformation. Edwards countered that, in addition to such a doctrine being inconsistent with Scripture, it involved a number of plain contradictions that could be demonstrated by logic alone." Ref-1348, p. 91.


Edwards - Jonathan - general :

"Edwards is sometimes criticized for having too dim a view of human nature, but it may be helpful to be reminded that his grandmother was an incorrigible profligate, his great-aunt committed infanticide, and his great-uncle was an ax-murderer." Ref-1348, p. 22. "Although Edwards had none of the dramatic gestures of a Whitefield or a Tennent and was said to preach as though he were staring at the bell-rope in the back of the meetinghouse, he could be remarkably compelling. An admirer described his delivery as “easy, natural and very solemn. He had not a strong, loud voice; but appeared with such gravity and solemnity, and spake with such distinctness, clearness and precision; his words were so full of ideas, set in such a plain and striking light, that few speakers have been so able to demand the attention of an audience as he.” Though sheer intensity he generated emotion. “his words often discovered a great degree of inward fervor, without much noise or external emotion, and fell with great weight on the minds of his hearers. He made but little motion of his head or hands in the desk, but spake so as to discover the motion of his own heart, which tended in the most natural and effectual manner to move and affect others.” The combination of controlled but transparent emotion, heartfelt sincerity both in admonition and compassion, inexorable logic, and biblical themes could draw people into sensing the reality of ideas long familiar." Ref-1348, p. 220. "Sarah Sr., as mother to this large family, overseer of operations for farming, cooking, clothing, washing, cleaning, admonishing, and much of the educating, was the embodiment of the Puritan ideal of industry. If she truly was, as Samuel Hopkins implies, “a deputy husband” or the def facto manager of the house and farm as well as the mother of eleven children, her accomplishments were monumental. . . . In addition to caring for hew own family and household, Sarah operated what amounted to a small inn to accommodate travelers (most often unannounced) and various young boarders who came to learn from her husband. As her attentiveness to young Samuel Hopkins when he came first into their home as a student illustrates, she concerned herself with the welfare of her guests. Hopkins later wrote: “she would spare to pains to make them welcome, and provide for their convenience and comfort. And she was peculiarly kind to strangers who came to her house.”" Ref-1348, p. 323. "That Edwards was willing to sail the foundering ship of his pastorate into the teeth of the storm, knowing well that he and his family were likely to go down, tells us much about his character. First, he was irremediably a man of principle. Once he arrived at a conclusion, he was not ready to give in. . . . Edwards’ reverence for Scripture enhanced his sense of the authority of whatever beliefs he derived from it. His conviction that the life or death of eternal souls was at stake made him willing to risk his own welfare." Ref-1348, p. 349. "When the council asked the church to express its views on whether to continue the pastoral relationship, only 23 of the 230 male members voted on Edwards’ side. Some others stayed away and Edwards felt he probably had additional support among some women who could not vote and did not dare speak out, but still the opposition was overwhelming." Ref-1348, p. 360. "[Edwards] had come to doubt whether he had the personal skills to be a pastor. . . . To John Erskine, his most supportive Scottish correspondent, he wrote, “I am fitted for no other business but study.”" Ref-1348, p. 362. "The scene of America’s greatest theologian and colonial America’s most powerful thinker being run out of town and forced into exile in a frontier village has intrigued observers ever since. Is it the tragedy of the great man being crushed by following his own high principles? Or is it the pathos of a brilliant but impractical intellectual whose prudery and zeal for control brought out the latent pettiness of a small town? As in most of real life that rises beyond the ordinary, it was a mixture of both the exalted and the pathetic." Ref-1348, p. 369. "Perhaps the greatest tragedy for Edwards was that his pastorate was undone by his commitment to principle. As he pointed out to his congregation, he had much to lose by attempting to reverse the policies of his grandfather. He was willing to give up his own and his family’s worldly security for the cause of protecting eternal souls. He pursued that personally disastrous course because he was convinced that the logic of his conversionist theology demanded it." Ref-1348, p. 370. "Edwards had a wonderful ability to carry the implications of widely held Christian assumptions to their logical conclusions, sometimes with unnerving results. Not everyone will agree with all his premises, and so will not be compelled by all his conclusions. Nevertheless, anyone might do well to contemplate Edwards’ view of reality and its awesome implications." Ref-1348, p. 503.

Edwards - Jonathan - philosopher :

"The plain fact is that Edwards’ excursions into philosophy were only occasional and peripheral to his main thought; it was theology, or ‘divinity’, which belonged to the warp and woof of his life." Ref-1302, p. xx. "Before the Civil War, America produced many impressive theologians, but none as philosophically powerful as Edwards. Since the Civil War, American has had many great philosophers, but none who was, like Edwards, primarily a theologian. To fully appreciate Freedom of the Will one needs to view it not just as another piece modern philosophy. More fundamentally, it is a philosophical tour de force by someone who was first of all a theologian." Ref-1348, p. 446.
