| Summary: | The Edwardsean tradition, beginning with Jonathan Edwards and carried forth by his followers, had a unique influence on religious and social life between the two Awakenings. Like the Presbyterians and Congregationalists, Baptists also felt the ripple effects. Baptists were shaped by the Edwardsean tradition on both sides of the Atlantic. In particular, Baptists in the Southern states were formed by Edwardseanism. As Obbie Tyler Todd writes, "With the help of Jonathan Edwards and the Edwardseans, they delivered the faith of their Baptist ancestors to the brave new Southern world." One Edwardsean Baptist wielded a considerable influence, the "brilliant luminary," Jonathan Maxcy (1768-1820). |
