In developing criteria for such judgment he attacked at the same time one of the fundamental questions facing all religion: how to distinguish genuine from spurious piety?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Awakening created much bitter controversy; on the one side stood the emotionalists and enthusiasts, and on the other the rationalists, for whom religion was essentially a matter of morality or good conduct and the acceptance of properly formulated doctrine. Edwards, with great analytical skill and enormous biblical learning, showed that both sides were in the wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe attacked both a \"lifeless morality\" as too pale as to be the essence of religion, and he rejected the excesses of a purely emotional religion more concerned for sensational effects than for the inner transformation of the self, which was, for him, the centre of genuine Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461682675948,"sku":"9780300158410","price":65.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780300158410-the-works-of-jonathan-edwards-vol-2.jpg?v=1774974920"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-the-works-of-jonathan-edwards-series.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
