Wow.
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing this out.
I've heard that Yale teaches a whole course on "the handwriting of Jonathan Edwards", so that Ph.D. candidates can learn to decipher his scrawl.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great resource. I only hope that more archives follow suit.
ReplyDeleteAt George Marsden's retirement celebration, Harry Stout - the director of the Center - said (I'm paraphrasing) that Marsden's biography of Edwards functions as a justification for the Center's work over the last several years by showing what can now be accomplished with the newly available materials. That should be all the endorsement anyone who hasn't yet read Marsden's biography needs to get them to read it (alongside, of course, these primary sources.) Marsden also just published a shorter, more popular version for those daunted by the 600-page original.
Thanks for alerting me to this!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds of the past.
I just posted on John Owen's "On Sin and Mortification" today!
