“..for Edwards, it is the people of Israel, rather than the Americans or Chinese, who play the most significant role in expanding the kingdom of God.” Who would have thunk? Almost four hundred years ago, the greatest religious mind in the Anglo-American universe predicted that China, America, and Israel would be major players in the final countdown before the end of the world. There would be massive persecution of Christians at the same time as worldwide revival.

“Respect” for tradition is not enough when cultural hurricanes threaten to blow Anglicans off the narrow pilgrim way. Just as “respect” for God is a far cry from the “trembling at My word” that God seeks (Isa. 66:2), and just as the Ethiopian eunuch asked how he could understand Isaiah without someone guiding his interpretation (Acts 8:31), so too global Anglicans must take the wisdom of tradition more seriously if they are to avoid becoming another progressive Protestant denomination.

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents. Hubristic? Perhaps. But writing the book also involved repentance for my intellectual sins. More than twenty years before, I had my own Copernican revolution when I realized I had previously missed the profound Jewishness of Jesus and the gospel. Then I discovered, to my delight, that Edwards also came to see that Israel is at the center of world history. That made me all the more determined to pick up where Edwards left off.

Jesus in EdenBy Gerald McDermottFIRST THINGSSept. 27, 2024At the end of his life, the American theologian Jonathan Edwards (1703--58) was working on a massive summa that would show the beauty of the Triune God afresh.
