Douglas A. Sweeney. Nathaniel Taylor, New Haven Theology, and the Legacy of Jonathan Edwards. (Religion in America.) New York: Oxford University Press. 2003. Pp. xi, 255. $45.00.

In this work, Douglas A. Sweeney asserts that the intellectual origins of Nathaniel William Taylor and other New Haven theologians can be attributed to the legacy of Jonathan Edwards and that Taylor's contribution to New England theology should be understood within the context of Edwardsian Calvinism. As one of the most influential theologians of the antebellum period, Taylor provided a vigorous and innovative defense of Calvinist doctrine, one that provided a basis for the Second Great Awakening and fueled a series of controversies within the Congregational and Presbyterian communities. Through all of his controversies, Taylor insisted that he was remaining faithful to the Edwardsian tradition, with only minor modifications to make the old theology more defensible to a nineteenth-century audience, and Sweeney argues that we should take the New Haven protestations seriously.
