This fine introduction to early American philosophy features Edwards prominently...[Goodman's] treatment of Edwards now joins the ranks of short surveys by philosophers and historians-John Smith, Morton White, Paul Conkin, William Clebsch, Bruce Kuklick, and others-who interpret him in light of later American philosophy. It deserves a wide reading. Doug Sweeney, Jonathan Edwards Centre ...Goodman's book is required reading. There is much to admire about this relatively short (and therefore extremely ambitious) book: its historical detail, its ability to anticipate and foreshadow later philosophical developments, its attention to the nexus of the political and the philosophical, and a gracious manner of writing that invites the reader into a very accessible story about a strain of American thought John Kaag, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online
