How did an eighteenth-century Congregational pastor, living in the wilds of western Massachusetts, get the paper, the writing space, the library, and the right contacts with publishers in order to become an internationally known author?
Join us as Ken Minkema, director of the Jonathan Edwards Center at Yale Divinity School, walks us through the "material culture" of Edwards' Northampton study, providing a fascinating glimpse of the place where ground-breaking theology was written.
Wednesday, September 19th
