Additional Reading
John E. Smith et al. (eds.), The Works of Jonathan Edwards (1957– ), will be a complete critical edition. Ola Elizabeth Winslow, Jonathan Edwards, 1703–1758 (1940, reprinted 1973), containing a delineation of Edwards the man; and Arthur C. McGiffert, Jr., Jonathan Edwards (1932, reprinted 1980), containing a good understanding of his thought, are regarded as the best biographies. Perry Miller, Jonathan Edwards (1949, reprinted 1973), an intellectual biography, is a brilliant interpretation that has been accused of unduly modernizing Edwards. Other interpretive studies include: Douglas J. Elwood, The Philosophical Theology of Jonathan Edwards (1960), which stresses the Platonic and Augustinian elements; and Conrad Cherry, The Theology of Jonathan Edwards: A Reappraisal (1966), an excellent theological study.
