Supralapsarianism Reconsidered

Revisits supralapsarianism through an interpretation and constructive retrieval of the theology of Jonathan Edwards, especially his account of Christ as the “sum of God’s decrees.”

Phillip A. Hussey examines the scholarship of Jonathan Edwards and interrogates the relationship between Christ and the decree within Reformed Theology; and reveals the contemporary theological significance of supralapsarian Christology.

In a late notebook entry, Jonathan Edwards offered a programmatic statement on the relation between Christ and predestination: In that grand decree of predestination, or the sum of God''s decreesthe appointment of Christ, or the decree respecting his personmust be considered first. This work unpacks the scope of Edwards''s statement, both in terms of setting forth an interpretation of Edwards''s own theology on the relation between Christ and the decree, as well as drawing out the larger insights of Edwards''s reasoning for current theological reflection.
