{"product_id":"9780567539335","title":"God is a Communicative Being: Divine Communicativeness and Harmony in the Theology of Jonathan Edwards","description":"Over the past half century, there has been a proliferation of   scholarship on the great American theologian Jonathan Edwards. However,   the vast majority of this output confines itself to the details of his   work. With some welcome exceptions, the forest has often been missed  for  the trees. In this ground breaking study William Schweitzer  presents a  new reading of Edwards: He starts with the question what is  distinctive  in Edwards’ theology? The answer comes in Edwards’ insight  into  Trinitarian life. God is eternally communicative of his knowledge,  love,  and joy among the Three Persons of the Trinity, and this divine   communicativeness was for Edwards the explanation for why God created   the universe. More specifically, however, Edwards believed that God’s   communication carries with it the Trinitarian hallmark of “harmony.”   This hallmark is not always east to discern, even for the regenerate.    Edwards’ lifelong project—as demonstrated by the common purpose of all   three unfinished “Great Works”—was to interpret the harmony found in  and  among the several media of revelation.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47123900104944,"sku":"9780567539335","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780567539335_p0.jpg?v=1763718830","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780567539335","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
