Minister. Thinker. Revivalist. America’s greatest theologian. “Homeboy” to today’s Young Reformed. Hero. Icon.

Why exactly was Jonathan Edwards, godfather of American evangelicalism, ejected from his own congregation–the church he had served faithfully for over twenty years? And what happened next? How did he respond? I explored these questions in an article for Leadership Journal:

Wow that article is basically a character assassination. What a terrible presentation of Edwards.
I agree. No attention was given to his position contributions.
I wonder what they would say about a murderer who everyone hated and was regularly thrown out of the towns he was staying at?
