America's Theologian Beyond America: Jonathan Edwards, Israel, and China by Vict

Description: America's Theologian Beyond America by Victor Zhu, Douglas Sweeney Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description In Americas Theologian Beyond America, Victor Zhu provides a nuanced investigation of Edwardss anticipation of the millennium. Zhu shows that Edwardss millennialism is neither America-centric nor politically utopian. Rather, Zhu revisits Edwardss belief in Israels restoration to the Promised Land and highlights his eschatological hope for China and the rest of the "heathen" world. Publisher Description New England theologian Jonathan Edwards came to prominence at the culmination of a dramatic paradigm shift in millennialism that had begun in the sixteenth century, declaring that a thousand-year earthly kingdom would arrive in the future. For Edwards, the land of Israel would be the ideal location of the millennial kingdom, and the people of Israel, after their restoration, would play critical and decisive roles in the millenniums commencement. Edwardssmillennial vision was also cosmic, however, and included both Europe and China. Unlike his Protestant predecessors and his Puritan contemporaries, Edwardss millennialism de-centralized England and New England.Contrary to what many have argued, Edwards neither originated nor advocated the notion of the American redeemer nation.In Americas Theologian Beyond America, Victor Zhu establishes the coherence of Edwardss Judeo-centric and cosmic vision of the millennial kingdom and argues that this vision is an indispensable part of Edwardss theological system. He highlights three theological loci in Edwardss millennialism: the greatness of Gods divine sovereignty, themagnificence of His glory, and the capaciousness of His kingdom. Zhu demonstrates Edwardss conviction of the progressive realization of the kingdom, refuting the prevailing misinterpretation that Edwards thoughtthe millennium was imminent. He explores Edwardss cosmic vision of the millennial kingdom, which extended from New England and Israel to China and other parts of the "heathen" world. In conclusion, Zhu examines the contemporary relevance of Edwardss millennialism in Chinese millennial movements. Author Biography Victor Zhu received his Ph.D. from the University of Edinburgh in 2019. Zhu works as a lecturer and freelance researcher with interests in eschatology in the Reformed tradition, Puritan views of Israel, Chinese millennial movements, and Chinese-European cultural and philosophical interaction in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
