A provocative and at times brilliant reinterpretation of Edwards . . . --Religious Studies Review
. . . a comprehensive analysis and redefinition of the thought of Jonathan Edwards. --Peirce Project Newsletter
. . . a new foundation for the study of Edwards's thought and rhetoric. --Wilson H. Kimnach
. . . this is a superb and important book, one that deserves to be widely read and vigorously discussed. --Transactions of the Charles S. Pierce Society
. . . Daniel's work ought . . . to be required reading among the Edwards guild, for it provides perhaps the best philosophical introduction in English to Edward's major writings. --Church History
Drawing on the semiotic work of Peirce, Foucault, and Kristeva, Stephen Daniel shows how the Renaissance theory of signatures provides Edwards and his contemporaries with a powerful alternative to the ideas of Descartes and Locke.
