A very helpful statement!

'No attentive reader can be unaware of a basic theological conservatism within Edwards's thought: he inherited a relatively stable Reformed tradition of theology, which he knew well, generally upheld, and where he made minor amendments was both clear and defensive about the fact.'

in 'Does Edwards Use a Dispositional Ontology?' in Jonathan Edwards: Philosophical Theologian Edited by Paul Helm and Oliver Crisp, p.101.
