Author Description

One significant way that the influential Puritan minister Jonathan Edwards (1703–58) remains relevant today is through his approach to teaching. His holistic pedagogical approach addressed the “total person”: mind, intentions, and actions. Crucial to Edwards, also, was mentoring students to assist their spiritual development and to encourage and to help enable their leadership potential. This volume fills a significant gap in the academic study of Jonathan Edwards—his work as a teacher and educational theorist.
