2018 Lecture of the Jonathan-Edwards Centre UK
Edwards's Affectional Ethics by Professor Paul Helm
Paul will look at the two standpoints from which Edwards treats ethics in his writings: ethics from the point of view of the ‘vulgar’, his people in the pews of Northampton, and ethics from the point of view of the ‘learned’, the academic theorists he searched out, such as Hutcheson.
Paul taught at Liverpool for 29 years before moving to a Chair in History and Philosophy of Religion at King’s College, London. He has also held Chairs in Canada and Scotland. His voluminous writings range over philosophy of religion, early-modern philosophy, and the history of Calvinism. He has published with Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, Eerdmans, T&T Clark, and IVP. In particular, he has published on the philosophy and theology of Jonathan Edwards, including in Jonathan Edwards Studies.
