Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1990.

A well-rounded, accessible introduction that covers major themes from Edwards’s published writings. The “reappraisal” refers to Cherry’s attempt to present Edwards as a Calvinist theologian rather than, as the literature of the mid-20th-century held, a mystic and proto-Romantic.

First published in 1974.
