The Jonathan Edwards Center Germany

Resources & Publications

In addition to the digital resources provided by the Jonathan Edwards Center at Yale, which include Edwards’s entire corpus of works (WJE Online), and complementary to the holdings of the Heidelberg university library, we make an effort to collect books and educational materials related to Edwards and early American religious history that can be accessed at the seminar library of the Department of Theology.

Through its activities, the Jonathan Edwards Center, Germany, also wants to function as a hub for a research network connecting institutions and projects with related interests.

Currently, its partners include:
