This huge volume reprints the two previous bibliographies by the compiler, a doyen of Edwards scholarship, that cover the years down to 1978 and down to 1993, inserting previous omissions and adding an entirely new section dealing with titles down to 2005. It contains publications that reproduce, discuss, or even allude to Jonathan Edwards and is far more than a list, since each entry contains a summary of content, always accurate and often perceptive. The introductions to the three sections are urbane and fair-minded. The latest introduction registers an intriguing change in the nature of the output, characterizing it as “increasingly evangelical and, regrettably, partisan” (456). More than half of the content of the third bibliography derives from the 2003 tercentennial. Intriguingly, the first volume of the Yale edition of Edwards's Works, published in 1957, appears on 211, so that nearly two-thirds of the content relates to items that have appeared since that date (though it has to be said that the volume of the summaries tends to increase over time). The indexes of authors and titles and of subjects will be invaluable for the researcher trying to track down elusive commentary. Altogether this work will be essential for any future work on Edwards.
