Rhys S. Bezzant. Jonathan Edwards and the Church. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2014. 314 pp. £30.52/$49.95. With all the recent scholarship devoted to Jonathan Edwards, it is a wonder that there would be any kind of gaping holes in the coverage of his doctrinal content, even taking into account his extensive corpus of writings. To be sure, there are still areas in Edwards studied that need to be covered in greater detail, but it is surprising to think that there has been a genuine neglect of an extensive study of Edwards’s ecclesiology amongst scholars. This, however, will no longer be the case due to a work entitled Jonathan Edwards and the Church, by Rhys Bezzant. The author gives a telling account of Edwards’s ecclesiology that is “orderly but not ordinary.” Bezzant is the Dean of Missional Leadership and Lecturer in Christian Thought at Ridley Melbourne. The author works diachronically through the years of Edwards’s pastoral leadership, supplying an understanding of his ecclesiological development. Alongside of this analysis Bezzant also offers helpful systematic formulations addressing the nature and significance of Edwards’s doctrine of the church. This approach supplies the reader with an exploration of several of Edwards’s major writings and sermons, with an eye to their ecclesiological implications. In regards to the thesis of this work, Bezzant maintains that for Edwards, “The church is not an afterthought in the otherwise individualistic plans of God, but is the focused domain where God’s promises, presence, and purpose are to be discovered.” (ix) More specifically, Bezzant claims that Edwards held fast to “fundamental Protestant convictions while creating space for fresh expressions of church life.” (xi) This renewal in ecclesial life came about through various means, such as revivals, itinerancy, Concerts of Prayer, missionary initiatives, and doctrinal clarification.
