Teaching Edwards

Teaching Jonathan Edwards in College


One of the most important arenas for the advancement of Jonathan Edwards scholarship is the college classroom. On this page, the Jonathan Edwards Center will post brief discussions of the work of teaching Edwards to college students, written by professors who are currently undertaking that task. Where possible, we will also make available a course syllabus to go with the discussion of pedagogical method.

We hope that these essays and syllabi are helpful to the project of more effectively teaching Edwards in higher education.
