Jonathan Edwards and the Psalms : A Redemptive-Historical Vision of Scripture

---

Outline: Throughout Church history, the book of Psalms has enjoyed wider use and acclaim than almost any other book of the Bible. Early Christians extolled it for its fullness of Christia doctrine, monks memorized and recited it daily, lay people have prayed its workds as their own, and churches have sung from it as their premier hymn book. While the past half century has seen as extraordinary resurgence of interest in the thought of American theologian Jonathan Edwards, including his writings on the Bible, no scholar has yet explored his meditations on the Psalms. The author addresses this gap by providing a close study of Edward's engagement with one of the Bible's most revered books. From his youth to the final days of his precidency at the College of New Jersey, Edwards was a devout student of Scripture - as more than 1,200 student of Scripture - as more than 1,200 extant sermons, theological treatises, and thousands of personal manuscript pages devoted to the biblical reflection bear witness. Using some of his writings that have previously received little to no attention, Jonathan Edwards and the Psalms offers insights on his theological engagement with the Psalms in the context of interpretation, worship, and preaching. The author shows that he appropriated the history of redemption as an organizing theological framework within which to engage the Psalms specifically, and the Bible as a whole. The original study greatly advances Edwards scholarship, shedding new and welcome light on the theologian's relationship to Scripture.
