Who is/was Jonathan Edwards - the one on the list?

He was a famous preacher and theologian during the period known as the "Great Awakening" in the 1700's- a religious revival in the then colonies which led to the creation of many new Christian denominations.

Thanks. I recall reading about the Great Awakening" many years ago, but the name didn't ring a bell. Is there a book on him and this period that you (or anyone else) can recommend?
