Abstract:
In America's Theologian Beyond America, Victor Zhu provides a nuanced investigation of Edwards's anticipation of the millennium. Zhu shows that Edwards's millennialism is neither America-centric nor politically utopian. Rather, Zhu revisits Edwards's belief in Israel's restoration to the Promised Land and highlights his eschatological hope for China and the rest of the "heathen" world.
