Additional text

This is the first-fruit of a long-delayed harvest of Edwards' use of Scripture. No other scholar has done such intensive sifting of the American theologian's preaching on any book of the Bible, much less his favorite (the one he cited more than any other). Barshinger has done invaluable service to the academy and church by showing where Edwards followed but also departed from his Reformed predecessors and medieval interpreters. This book will advance both Edwards scholarship and the church's recovery of its theological interpretation of Scripture.
