Seng-Kong Tan argues that human participation in the divine —a classical theological axiom most notably associated with the Eastern Orthodox tradition—is a central theme in the theology of Jonathan Edwards. This notion, Tan contends, is a defining motif for the entire systematic sweep of Edwards’ theology, and it serves to focus and unpack the contours of Edwards’ thought. Fullness Received and Returned situates Edwards’ theology within the folds of the classical theological tradition, while arguing that Edwards’ is a unique and creative form of Reformed theology.
