Jonathan Edwards and Scripture
For too long, scholars have published new research on Edwards without
paying due attention to the work he took most seriously: biblical exegesis.
Edwards is recognized as an innovative theologian who wielded tremendous
influence on revivalism, evangelicalism, and New England theology. What is
often missed is how much time he devoted to studying and understanding the
Bible. He kept voluminous notebooks on Scripture and died with unrealized plans
for major treatises on the Bible. More and more experts now recognize the
importance of this aspect of his life; this book brings together the insights
of leading Edwards scholars on this topic. The essays in Jonathan Edwards and
Scripture set Edwards' engagement with Scripture in the context of
seventeenth-century Protestant exegesis and eighteenth-century colonial
interpretation. They provide case studies of Edwards' exegesis
in varying genres of the Bible and probe his use of Scripture to develop
theology.
The authors also set his biblical interpretation in perspective by comparing
it with that of other exegetes.
This book advances our understanding of the nature and significance
of Edwards' work with Scripture and opens new lines of inquiry for students
of early modern Western history.
