Unusual little biography of one of Edwards main protégés, Samuel Hopkins [1721-1803]. He studied theology directly with Edwards at Northampton and was licensed to preach in 1742. He was a significant figure in popularizing and rendering usable the theology of Edwards into what became known Hopkinsian or Edwardsian theology. 

Important content on the Great Awakening, etc.
