This paper is a biography of Jonathan Edwards. Early 20th-century scholars and thinkers, like Vernong Parrington, looked down on Edwards as the "Great Anachronism" of his time, still acknowledged him for his "prodigious intellect and promise." In the middle of the century, the great neo-orthodox theological H. Richard Niebuhr pointed to Edwards as a great help to the world's need to understand the calamities of World War II and in recovering its moral bearing. And Perry Miller declared that Edwards was, in fact, a true "modern" - so modern that the present age needs to catch up with him.
