Focusing on Jonathan Edwards' unique perspective on sin, this study reveals his original contributions to philosophical theology, challenging traditional Reformed categories. It emphasizes the importance of understanding his theories on the nature, origin, and transmission of sin within their own philosophical context. The resurgence of interest in Edwards' work, particularly through the Yale edition of his writings, highlights his significance in contemporary discussions among historians, theologians, and philosophers, marking a substantial addition to the literature on his thought.
