Abstract
One of Edwards's lifelong governing theological ideas is captured in the phrase “history of redemption.” His writings toward the end of his life suggest that he intended to translate the content of traditional dogmatic theology into historical or narrative form. Interestingly, his notebooks reveal that the anticipated project would have included significant space for cultural developments occurring outside the bounds of Christendom. More specifically, the Miscellanies suggest that individuals may have received direct divine inspiration, that non-Christian religions exhibited foreshadowings of “types” of biblical religion, and that the common truths among the world religions may have been due to traditions passed down by the founders of nations, beginning with Noah's sons.
