Edwards' Trinitarianism

Here is a good summary of Jonathan Edwards' trinitarianism from his Discourse on the Trinity (Works, vol. 21, Yale, 131):

This I suppose to be that blessed Trinity that we read of in the holy Scriptures. The Father is the Deity subsisting in the prime, unoriginated and most absolute manner, or the Deity in its direct existence. The Son is the Deity generated by God's understanding, or having an idea of himself, and subsisting in that idea. The Holy Ghost is the Deity subsisting in act, or the divine essence flowing out and breathed forth, in God's infinite love to and delight in himself. And I believe the whole divine essence does truly and distinctly subsist both in the divine idea and divine love, and that therefore each of them are properly distinct persons.

I think that there are more biblical foundations in Edwards' understanding of the Trinity than is sometimes supposed. I wonder if he's not be heard as he ought regarding certain angles on the Trinity in Scripture that have not been noted enough. I'm less sure about Edwards' philosophical foundations, although even here it seems to me that he always attempts to think within the conceptual world of the Scriptures. His brief Discourse on the Trinity is certainly worth reading and pondering. At the very least, one comes away appreciating texts that are plainly trinitarian but perhaps too often overlooked.
