How is our Yale University Press (YUP) edition different from previously published editions?
• The Works of President Edwards, in Eight Volumes, ed. Edward Williams and Edward Parsons (Leeds, 1806–11). • The Works of President Edwards, in Eight Volumes, First American Edition, ed. Samuel Austin (Worcester, 1808–9). • The Works of President Edwards, in Ten Volumes, ed. Sereno E. Dwight (New York, 1829–30). • The Works of President Edwards, in Four Volumes (New York, 1843-44). • The Works of Jonathan Edwards, in Two Volumes (Banner of Truth and Hendrickson edition, which reprints the Worcester rev. ed.) • The Yale University Press edition is by far the most comprehensive and accurate to date (consisting of 26 printed volumes, and more than twice that much online), including many writings never before accessible by the public. Also, earlier editions include many mistakes and “improvements,” which are perpetuated in modern reprints by various publishing houses today. Only the WJE and WJE Online return to the originals to provide an authoritative and critical edition.
