Conversely, Charles Chauncy led the Old Lights in opposition by offering criticisms of the Awakening. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In this book, Robert Davis Smart examines Edwards's defense of the revival with particular attention to Chauncy's criticisms, which have often been acknowledged but not previously subjected to thorough analysis. He sets forth historical and contextual factors that shaped Edwards and his generation, shows how Edwards emerged as a leader of the revival from its early days, and offers an updated survey of the modern attempts to interpret the Awakening theologically, sociologically, and historically. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Here is a detailed treatment of the contrasting perspectives of Edwards and Chauncy, an extensive analysis of their major works regarding the revival, an able assessment of the essential issues raised by the debate, and an evaluation of the significant contributions of these men. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Table of Contents: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Introduction to Edwards's Historical Context \u003cbr\u003e Chapter One: Jonathan Edwards and the Great Awakening\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Two: Interpretations of the Awakening \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Three: The Distinguishing Marks and Some Thoughts \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Four: Chauncy's Seasonable Thoughts \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Five: Edwards's Final Response to Chauncy \u003cbr\u003e Conclusion: The Debate and Its Legacy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Davis Smart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1601781245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781601781246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reformation Heritage Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 1.00d","brand":"Robert Davis Smart","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49082841432319,"sku":"9781601781246","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jonathan-edwardss-apologetic-for-the-robert-davis-smart-9781601781246","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
