But no volume 1? I'm not sure I could handle a set with a missing volume....but for that price I might be able to.

Exactly. I used to splurge on books whenever I saw something I wanted but recently I’ve been kinda focusing on saving for the crazy RHB sales.

Ohhh That I am unaware of.
The table of contents piqued my interest but I’m not caught up on the details.

Witherspoon is a link in Scottish realism between Britain and America, which came to fruition with Charles Hodge. While the Young Restless and Reformed will never do a conference on him, I think he is important.

I found an old PB post in which you discussed Witherspoon. That's what enticed me to puruse his works

If it was before 2012, I reject everything I said. If it is after 2012, then it is right by definition.

It was 2021. So I guess I'm safe?

Thread 'Why did John Witherspoon detest the teachings of Jonathan Edwards? Were his grievances justified?'

May 7, 2021

So, I've been doing a bit of reading about both Jonathan Edwards and John Witherspoon lately. I've long been a fan of Edwards and have studied Witherspoon as well, since the American Founding is one of my primary interests. From what I have read, one of the first things that Witherspoon did after ascending to the presidency of Princeton was to banish all of the Edwardsians from the school. Apparently, Witherspoon, who was deeply informed by the Scottish Enlightenment, saw Edwards' philosophical idealism as a threat to the intellectual environment he wanted to create.

Yes. Although I am now more open to Witherspoon on the mode of government.

Funny this came up. I've been sorting through Common Sense Realism. John Witherspoon has come into focus as a way of dealing with the bridge that occurs in American church history where people jump from the pre-Independence era to the second great "awakening." Much in this time span explains the devolvement of the American church, or so I suspect and have been digging around.
