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 decrees…the appointment of Christ, or the decree respecting his person…must 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.

Strangely, for all of the work that has been done on the early eighteenth-century British-American theologian Jonathan Edwards, we have yet to be given a satisfactory assessment of his lapsarianism, his views of the eternal decrees. This study takes a significant step in providing an explanation of Edwards’ formulations on this key topic, and doing so within the context of the Reformed tradition that Edwards inherited—and changed. Rather than making any normative judgments about whether or not Edwards was “true” to the Reformed tradition, this work focuses on the solutions that he proposed flowing from a vision that was God-centered, trinitarian and christological.
