Exploring the connection between Scripture and Nature in the theology of Jonathan Edwards, Thunder God, Wonder God reveals a vast network of emblematic thought. It speaks to a renewed appreciation of our natural world as a divine revelation, and invites readers to contemplate Edwards' theocentric and poetic vision of the cosmos. Through Scripture, Church history, Edwards' writings, early modern emblem writers, and Evangelical theologians, this book shows how the universe is filled with insight for those who have eyes to see - everything from insects to elephants, molecules to mountains, has a story to tell.

This collection of essays provides fresh contributions pertaining to the life, times, and thought of the Puritan Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758). As each writer comes from a different background and perspective-pastors, students, and professional theologians-each has something unique to say about Edwards. Some of the essays are more devotional in nature, while others are entirely technical. Yet tying all of these various perspectives together is the towering eighteenth century figure of Jonathan Edwards.
