The blank Bible

Description

In 1730 Jonathan Edwards acquired a book-like, leather-bound manuscript containing an interleaved printed edition of the King James version of the Bible. Over the next three decades, Edwards proceeded to write in the manuscript more than five thousand notes and entries relating to biblical texts (although, paradoxically, he called the manuscript his 'blank Bible"). Only a few of the entries have ever been published. This 2-vol. set presents a complete edition, accompanied by an informative introduction, multiple appendixes and an extensive index. Perhaps the most unusual in Edwards' oeuvre, it brings to light more clearly than before the full scope of his creative investment in Biblical Studies.
