Description

The Jonathan Edwards Renaissance is fully underway, with an increased emphasis on Edwards as an exegete and interpreter of Scripture. In this work, Brian Borgman explores Edwards's exegetical, hermeneutical, and theological treatment of the book of Genesis. This study gives special attention to Edwards's hermeneutics and exegesis of Genesis, his pastoral methods for preaching it, and his theological development of the meaning of "the image of God." The result is a fruitful study on Edwards's interaction with the first book of the Bible.

Endorsements

“This fine study not only reflects recent trends in Edwards studies but offers a fresh look at previously unpublished sources in the Edwardsean corpus. With his eyes set firmly on pastor-scholar sensibilities, Borgman provides a lucid account of Jonathan Edwards as an exegete of the book of Genesis and explains how Edwards as a pastor underpinned his exegetical sermons as well as other writings. This volume will benefit readers of various stripes both in the church and in the academy.”
—Chris Chun, director of Jonathan Edwards Center and professor, Gateway Seminary

“It has been rightly said that the history of the church is the story of the church’s interaction with the Bible, and one of the most influential figures in this story was the New England divine Jonathan Edwards. In recent years, his role in the reception history of the Scriptures has proven to be an especially fruitful subject of historical enquiry. This new monograph on his reflections on the book of Genesis continues and sharpens this inquiry, and reveals the way that Edwards was both a faithful transmitter of previous exegesis and a pioneer in new paths of thinking.”
—Michael A. G. Haykin, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
