the greatness of one who had a determining part in initiating
and directing a popular movement of far-reaching consequence,
and who in addition, laid the foundations for a new system of
religious thought, also of far-reaching consequence." Jonathan
Edwards redefined "religion in terms of an inner, personal
experience." The author laments that Edwards did not go far
