Call for Papers: The Integrated Edwards

An aspect of Edwardsean studies that has not been as regularly pursued, however, but which invites further work, is how Edwards’s thought contributes positively and constructively to current issues facing the academy and church in the twenty-first Century. Edwards’s thought is living and active: a storehouse from which significant treasure can be hulled for the sake of a modern audience’s blessing. This volume intends to show both how and why authors can integrate Edwards’s thought into the present context.

A Case Study in the ‘Blank Bible’

“At last! Schweitzer has given Edwards’ scholars and aficionados the much-needed key to typological references in Edwards’ neglected Ur text, the Blank Bible.” – JENNIFER LEADER

Jonathan Edwards Commentaries on the New Testament – Update

In 2023, Robert Boss was invited to execute Phase Two and significantly expand the commentaries to integrate the “Blank Bible” with Edwards’s entire 73-volume corpus. Phase Two breaks down Edwards’s sermons, treatises, and notebooks into a line-by-line Scripture commentary woven tightly into the KJV New Testament. These commentaries showcase Edwards as deeply engaged with the Bible, adding context and depth. Comprehensive footnotes were added to connect the commentaries to the Yale critical edition of Edwards’s works, fully capturing the interconnectedness of his thoughts.

Theology & the Art of Temptation Series

This series is unique, enriched by selections from Jonathan Edwards’s theological notebooks and his other writings, combined with stories of the tempted and Doctor Freefall’s diabolical advice to Slidefoot. These guides to leading souls astray are a blend of historical theology and devilish cunning that will captivate and educate thoughtful believers, seekers, and the curious alike.

Miscellanies Companions, Volumes 1–3

The Jonathan Edwards Miscellanies Companion, Volume 3 is now available. Foreword by Rhys Bezzant, Director of the Jonathan Edwards Center, Ridley College Melbourne.

Meeting Christ at His Table

This learned and judicious treatment of Jonathan Edwards’ doctrine of the Lord’s Supper is now the place to begin for serious readers. It places Edwards’ doctrine reliably in historical, practical, and theological context, helping students understand the reasons Edwards was ejected from his pulpit in Northampton—and helping Christians participate in this sacrament more faithfully and holily. – Douglas A. Sweeney, Beeson Divinity School Samford University
