抄録	Many have argued that Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) is the most influential thinker in U.S. American history. Yet few have understood the thoroughly biblical foundations of his early-modern worldview. This article explores Edwards’ biblical understanding of the history of the world, centered as it was on the history of the redemption of the world in Jesus Christ, the crux of his philosophy of history. It discusses Edwards’ views of many relevant biblical texts, including his comments on the Apocalypse (on which he kept a notebook) and its bearing on his Christian historiography. Nowhere is the difference between Edwards’ metaphysical and spiritual view of the world and later secular perspectives more apparent—even striking—than in his biblical understanding of the shape of cosmic history. When it came to the nature of history he was even more spiritual, supernatural—indeed apocalyptic—than his peers.
