Edwards the Exegete: Biblical Interpretation and Anglo-Protestant Culture on the Edge of the Enlightenment de Douglas A. Sweeney

Edwards the Exegete: Biblical Interpretation and Anglo-Protestant Culture on the Edge of the Enlightenment

Autor Douglas A. Sweeney
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 ian 2018

Autorul Douglas A. Sweeney, o autoritate de prestigiu în studiile despre secolul al XVIII-lea și editor al The Oxford Handbook of Jonathan Edwards, fundamentează această lucrare pe o cercetare minuțioasă a manuscriselor și surselor primare. Subliniem faptul că, deși Jonathan Edwards este adesea analizat prin prisma filosofiei sau a rolului său social, Douglas A. Sweeney demonstrează că activitatea sa centrală a fost, de fapt, interpretarea Scripturii. Reținem efortul autorului de a recupera o lume exegetică pierdută, oferind o structură clară asupra modului în care Edwards a interacționat cu textul sacru.

Analiza se concentrează pe patru piloni metodologici: abordarea canonică, hristologică, istoric-redemptivă și cea pedagogică. Această perspectivă completează viziunea oferită de Jonathan Edwards and Scripture de David P. Barshinger, adăugând o dimensiune critică asupra modului în care exegesa lui Edwards a modelat cultura anglo-protestantă la granița cu Iluminismul. Dacă lucrări precum The Works of Jonathan Edwards, Vol. 15 oferă acces direct la notele brute ale teologului, volumul de față sintetizează aceste date pentru a explica relevanța lor în istoria ideilor.

Poziționăm această carte ca o continuare firească a cercetărilor anterioare ale autorului, precum Jonathan Edwards and the Ministry of the Word – A Model of Faith and Thought, dar cu o aplecare mult mai tehnică asupra hermeneuticii. Recomandăm lucrarea pentru rigoarea cu care deconstruiește mitul unui Edwards preocupat exclusiv de metafizică, readucând în prim-plan profilul său de cercetător biblic riguros. Ritmul este cel al unei monografii academice solide, esențială pentru înțelegerea teologiei reformate americane.

Descriere

Scholars have long recognized that Jonathan Edwards loved the Bible, but preoccupation with his roles in Western "public" life and letters has eclipsed the significance of his biblical exegesis. In Edwards the Exegete, Douglas A. Sweeney fills this lacuna, exploring Edwards' exegesis and its significance for Christian thought and intellectual history. As Sweeney shows, throughout Edwards' life the lion's share of his time was spent wrestling with the words of holy writ. After reconstructing Edwards' lost exegetical world and describing his place within it, Sweeney summarizes his four main approaches to the Bible-canonical, Christological, redemptive-historical, and pedagogical-and analyzes his work on selected biblical themes that illustrate these four approaches, focusing on material emblematic of Edwards' larger interests as a scholar. Sweeney compares Edwards' work to that of his most frequent interlocutors and places it in the context of the history of exegesis, challenging commonly held notions about the state of Christianity in the age of the Enlightenment. Edwards the Exegete offers a novel guide to the theologian's exegetical work, clearing a path that other specialists are sure to follow. Sweeney's significant reassessment of Edwards' place in the Enlightenment makes a major contribution to Edwards studies, eighteenth-century studies, the history of exegesis, the theological interpretation of Scripture, and homiletics.

Recenzii

[T]his publication is likely to become a standard volume in the field of Edwards studies ... From this text it is clear that any general assessment of Edwards and of his work must take into account the central place and function of his lifelong effort as an exegete and interpreter of the text of the Bible. Any study of Edwards that does not deal with that religious and professional preoccupation is seriously flawed.
Sweeney has done the great service of poring over all Edwards' work on scripture in order to help his modern readers understand how he used these texts. His documentation in the endnotes is meticulous. The result is a clear and compelling contribution to the literature that all future interpreters of Edwards will have to take into account.
A very impressive achievement. Sweeney provides fresh understanding and appreciative insight into Edwards' enchanted world of Scripture. Edwards saw all of reality as infused with spiritual meaning. So God's special revelation in Scripture was not only the perspicuous key to everything else, it was also packed with countless cryptic spiritual connotations.
This book is a major contribution to scholarship that evidences a deep and refined knowledge of Edwards' thought and presents a penetrating analysis of the reading of Scripture in a vast array of Edwards' works. Sweeney identifies Edwards' location in the Protestant exegetical tradition and ably sets his work into the context of intellectual life of the mid-eighteenth century.
Don't be fooled-this book is not about grammar or verb declensions. With leading figures from church history as conversation partners, Sweeney elegantly unpacks crucial issues of biblical interpretation in Edwards' ministry. Big theological topics alternate with discussion of Edwards' exposition of books of the Bible, demonstrating Sweeney's prodigious eye to detail and his capacious understanding of Edwards' world. This book isn't about syntax, but something more powerful: the transforming Word of God.>
This study fills a significant lacuna. Much has been written about Edwards' life and times, his theology, and philosophy. But so far we did not have a comprehensive study of what Edwards himself would have regarded as the foundation of everything else: his biblical exegesis. Drawing widely from the Edwards corpus, Sweeney offers us a highly learned and nuanced but also very readable account of Edwards' multifaceted engagement with Scripture in the context of the early Enlightenment.
Doug Sweeney has written what will probably be the definitive work on this aspect of Edwards ... doubtless the single most important book on this subject for a number of years to come.
Douglas Sweeney's Edwards the Exegete is a rich and illuminating study of Jonathan Edwards's biblical exegesis. Sweeney carefully untangles Edwards's exegesis by drawing on a plethora of printed and manuscript sources.
