This is a study on Reformed theological debates during the »Long Eighteenth Century« in Britain
and New England. By »Long« a period that goes beyond 1700-1799 is in view. This examination
begins just before the eighteenth century by looking at the Neonomian-Antinomian debate in the
1690s. This is followed by the Marrow Controversy in Scotland in the eighteenth century. After
that the authors address the ecclesiological debates between George Whitefield and the
Erskines. The doctrine of free choice concerning Edwards and his departure from classical
Reformed orthodoxy is highlighted next followed by reflections on the Edwardseans and the
atonement. Returning to Britain again the volume provides a study on hyper-Calvinism and on
eschatological differences among key figures in the eighteenth century. More specific debates
in particular Baptist circles are noted including the battle over Sandemandianism and the
Trinitarian battles fought by Andrew Fuller and others. Returning to ecclesiology a discussion
on the subscription controversy in Philadelphia in the early eighteenth century and an analysis
of the debate about the nature of »revival« in New England close this volume.
