"To see God is to see him from 'within' his own loving. Seeing God is not catching a random glimpse of God, as if God could be seen and not realize he had been spotted. Rather, the sight of creatures have of God is caused by a specific kind of love upon them, illuminating them so that they can see him as he is . . . it is a vision of God by one who is loved by God." (Kyle Strobel on Jonathan Edwards's spiritual theology)

"Lord’s Day, April 10. Rose early in the morning and walked out and spent considerable time in the woods, in prayer and meditation. Preached to the Indians, both forenoon and afternoon. They behaved soberly in general: two or three in particular appeared under some religious concern; with whom I discoursed privately; and one told me her heart had cried ever since she heard me preach first." (The Diary of David Brainerd).

"Few orthodox theologians allowed more space for general revelation than did Jonathan Edwards. His ontology alone . . . in sum, is that all reality is the continual manifestation of ideas from the divine mind." (William M. Schweitzer)
