Description
Jonathan Edwards and Scripture provides a fresh perspective on the influential theologian's engagement with biblical exegesis. For too long, Edwards scholars have focused on his revivalist and theological impact without fully exploring his extensive study of Christian Scripture. This book brings together leading Edwards scholars to examine Edwards' approach to biblical interpretation, setting it within the context of seventeenth-century Protestant exegesis and eighteenth-century colonial interpretation. The volume offers in-depth case studies of Edwards' exegesis across various genres of the Bible, as well as an analysis of his use of Scripture to develop theology. By comparing Edwards' biblical interpretation with that of other exegetes, this book advances our understanding of the nature and significance of his work with Scripture, opening new avenues for research into early modern Western history. By exploring Edwards' engagement with Scripture, this book sheds new light on the theologian's legacy and provides a nuanced understanding of his thought.
