Testimonials
The Visual Edwards software now publishes interactive apps that display in the browser. New interactive visualizations of Jonathan Edwards’s writings and theology will be published every week. Here is a demo that walks through a sample viz, Video Demo, and below are a some user testimonials:
“Dr. Rob Boss, the director of the Jonathan Edwards Society, has developed a revolutionary product for Jonathan Edwards studies. In Boss’s integrative tool, he produces beautiful visualizations that come from the “nodes” of the highlighted words, phrases, and themes that run throughout the Works of Jonathan Edwards Online volumes 1-26. These visualizations demonstrate the consistency of Edwards’s thought as Boss helps researchers identify certain areas that deserve further study… This is a very important innovation and, perhaps, it may have long lasting consequences for Jonathan Edwards Studies.”
–Allen M. Stanton, PhD, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary
“Rob Boss’s Visual Edwards is a state-of-the-art, cutting-edge program. It is designed to help students of Edwards navigate the vast terrain of this great thinker’s work in ways previously unimaginable. It is now possible to search not only particular words and ideas, through Edwards's work in Yale’s WJE online, but groups and associations as well. Students of Edwards will find this program quite useful. One gets the feeling the possibilities are endless.”
–Robert Lledo, PhD candidate, Gateway Seminary, Pastor, FBC Beverly Hills
