Is Edwards an “Unconstrained Exegete”? A Case Study of His Exegetical–Theological Method in Part 2, Section 11 of Freedom of the Will

Little work has been done to investigate Jonathan Edwards’ use of the Christian Scripture in his Freedom of the Will. This study looks to address this gap in the literature, arguing that Edwards’ exegesis of the Christian Scriptures plays an indispensable role in his overall argument in his Freedom of the Will, and provides a new avenue for understanding this critical text in his corpus and the nature of Edwards’ exegesis generally.
