Jacob Wrestling with “a Man”
View through CrossRef
Mark A. Noll provides a detailed comparison of Jonthan Edwards’ biblical interpretation with that of other interpreters in his surrounding context by focusing on Genesis 32:22–32, the account of Jacob wrestling with “a man,” as a case study. He offers a careful comparative analysis of Edwards’ exegesis of this passage across his corpus, and then he compares him with six exegetes: Matthew Poole, Matthew Henry, Cotton Mather, August Hermann Francke, Charles Wesley, and Thomas Scott. These interpreters represent eras prior to, during, and after Edwards’ lifetime; some come from his theological tradition, whereas others do not. By tracing continuities and discontinuities in this exercise, Noll makes incisive observations about Edwards’ exegesis and proposes paths forward in the study of Edwards’ engagement with the Bible.
