Isaac Stiles

Isaac Stiles (1697–1760) was a colonial American theologian and clergyman whose intellectual contributions bridged European Reformed theology and emerging American Protestant thought during the Great Awakening. His theological writings, including *A Prospect of the City of Jerusalem*, engaged with eschatological and biblical interpretation in ways that influenced the development of American religious discourse in the mid-eighteenth century. As a figure of the colonial clergy, Stiles exemplified the scholarly engagement with theological texts that characterized educated ministry in early America.
