New Directions in Edwards Studies

1. Speaker: Mark Rogers
Title: An Edwardsian Second Great Awakening?: The Revival Ministry of Edward Dorr Griffin
Location: Hinkson Hall
Description: The First and Second Great Awakenings are commonly contrasted, pitting Jonathan Edwards’ revival leadership and theology against that of frontier camp meetings and Finneyite New Measures. In this story of contrast and discontinuity, Edwards’ impact on the Second Great Awakening has been neglected. As a result, Edward Dorr Griffin, one of the most prominent and influential leaders of the Second Awakening has been forgotten. This lecture will outline Griffin’s revival leadership and demonstrate the ways in which Jonathan Edwards shaped his ministry, the revivals he led, and large portions of the Second Great Awakening.

Jonathan Edwards and the Church

1. Speaker: Thabiti Anyabwile
Title: Jonathan Edwards and American Racism
Location: ATO Chapel
Description: Jonathan Edwards and American Racism: Can the Theology of a Slave Owner Be Trusted by Descendants of Slaves? Jonathan Edwards is arguably the most important theologian that North America has produced. He is a hero to many Christians. Yet he also owned slaves, a fact that has raised important questions about his moral credibility. Should we really be holding Edwards up as a theological role model? Should we be trying to learn from him? Listen as Thabiti Anyabwile addresses these questions (with responses from Louis Love and Charlie Dates). This lecture, co-sponsored by the Henry Center, was held on February 1, 2012 at 1pm in the ATO Chapel on the campus of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.
