Summary John Edwards of Cambridge (1637-1716) has typically been portrayed as a marginalized 'Calvinist' in an overwhelmingly 'Arminian' later Stuart Church of England. In 'Retaining the Old Episcopal Divinity', the author challenges this depiction of Edwards and the theological climate of his contemporary Church. The author demonstrates that Edwards was recognized in his own day and the immediately following generations as one of the pre-eminent conforming divines of the period, who featured prominently in notable theological controversies concerning contemporaries such as John Locke, Gilbert Burnet, Daniel Whitby, William Whiston and Samuel Clarke Notes Also issued in print: 2022 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Audience Specialized Notes Description based on online resource; title from home page (Oxford Academic, viewed March 31, 2023) Subject Edwards, John, 1637-1716.
