Throughout his life, Jonathan Edwards was a copious note-taker. Beginning in the 1730s, he collected his many notes on contentious theological subjects in a definitive “Controversies Notebooks.” Covering everything from the doctrine of original sin to the nature of true virtue, many of these entries would later be developed into full-blown treatises. This edition is complete with Edwards’ marginal notes and redactions, providing unique insight into the thought development of a theological giant.
When Jonathan Edwards was tapped by the College of New Jersey to become its next president, he cited numerous reasons why it was a bad idea. Chief among them: a “great work” that would occupy his time for years to come. His proposed magnum opus—Harmony of the Scripture—never came to fruition, but the very idea has tantalized Edwards fans for generations.
The preparatory notes and drafts for Harmony of the Scripture provide a glimpse into what could have been. As evidenced in this volume, the Harmony would have detailed the Old Testament prophecies of Christ and their fulfillment, explored the rich typology of the Old Testament and their New Testament antitypes, and synthesised the teaching of the Old and New Testaments. This volume represents an unprecedented opportunity to explore ideas that Edwards clearly held dear, but never had the opportunity to fully develop.
Jonathan Edwards’ writing process began with an extensive planning phase wherein he scribbled everything from fleeting thoughts to extensive commentary and in-depth arguments in his many notebooks. Later, he’d develop these seminal thoughts into the profound and refined discourses that have made him one of the most influential theologians in history. In this selection of preparatory notes for later works, we find Edwards nurturing the seeds of some of his greatest treatises—including Religious Affections—as well as works that never came to be.
Jonathan Edwards wasn’t just a theologian, he was a pastor at heart. Like any pastor, he encountered his share of controversy, and these notes from those disputes shed light on the ministry and tact of one of history’s greatest churchmen. This selection of notes and papers includes Edwards’ accounts of church discipline cases such as the famous “Bad Book Case” as well as papers written in response to the theological debates of his era.
Whether you’re a Jonathan Edwards scholar, or just a devoted admirer, you’ll appreciate this rare and detailed glimpse into the theologian’s personal life. This sampling includes a copy of Edwards’ personal will and inventory, court documents, and other legal notes and papers.
Jonathan Edwards was a master of preaching, but his oratory skills didn’t end there. This volume includes two rare speeches delivered by Edwards upon his graduation from Yale in 1723: his valedictory speech, and a paper presented in defense of his masters of arts degree.

Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758) was a theologian, preacher, missionary, writer, and philosopher who has made an incalculable impact on theology, politics, philosophy, the church, and American culture in general. One of the first graduates of Yale college, Edwards went on to write and preach in the Calvinist and Puritan tradition that was his heritage. His church in Northampton, Massachusetts was the epicenter of the Great Awakening, a religious revival that shaped the American religious landscape for years to come. A prolific preacher and writer, Edwards is the author of some of the most important theological works ever penned, including A Treatise concerning Religious Affections and The End for Which God Made the World. The Works of Jonathan Edwards, Yale Edition (26 vols.) is the definitive edition of his many books, treatises, sermons, and notes.
