This study of Edwards' key works on revival and the role of the Holy Spirit in revival might encourage a re-reading of Edwards' books on revival, and we who describe ourselves as evangelicals might come to view him as a reliable mentor in this area of vital importance and a skillful navigator among the shoals and shallows of spiritual experience. As a result it might well be that we would experience God the Holy Spirit moving among us as he once moved among the English Calvinistic Baptists of the late eighteenth century when they learned about revival from the pen of `America's theologian.'
