Summary Central to evangelical piety is the theme of “conversionism”. Among historical figures who embody this characteristic of evangelical piety one finds that Jonathan Edwards plays an important role, in part, because of his 1740 “Personal Narrative”. In this essay I examine the metaphysics underlying Edwards’s view of conversion in his “Personal Narrative”. Special attention is given to Edwards’s doctrine of continuous creation and to a feature that underlies his understanding of spiritual development, namely the One-Subject Criterion. I weigh two options for how Edwards may coherently hold to continuous creation and the One-Subject Criterion: Mark Hamilton’s relative realism/endurance account and Edwardsean Anti-Criterialism. I conclude that given the textual evidence Edwardsean Anti-Criterialism is to be preferred over Hamilton’s view.

We present here a general relativistic mechanism for accelerated cosmic expansion and the Hubble’s parameter. It is shown that spacetime vorticity coupled to the magnetic field density in galaxies causes the galaxies to recede from one another at a rate equal to the Hubble’s constant. We therefore predict an oscillatory universe, with zero curvature, without assuming violation of Newtonian gravity at large distances or invoking dark energy/dark matter hypotheses. The value of the Hubble’s constant, along with the scale of expansion, as well as the high isotropy of CMB radiation are deduced from the model.

The Vainshtein mechanism is of paramount importance in many alternative theories of gravity. It hides deviations from general relativity (GR) in the solar system while allowing them to drive the acceleration of the cosmic expansion. Recently, a class of theories have emerged where the mechanism is broken inside astrophysical objects. In this essay, we look for novel probes of these theories by deriving the modified properties of stars and galaxies. We show that main-sequence stars are colder, less luminous and more ephemeral than GR predicts. Furthermore, the circular velocities of objects orbiting inside galaxies are slower and the lensing of light is weaker. We discuss the prospects for testing these theories using the novel phenomena presented here in light of current astrophysical surveys.
