I don't usually syndicate postings, but this is a great exception! Justin Taylor announced that Yale has posted a free, searchable version of Jonathan Edward's Blank Bible.

Edwards cut out small pages of scripture and then pasted them into a big blank book, and then wrote commentary on the scriptures. Yale has converted this book into web pages.  The Blank Bible's Index Page has several links to background information on the book, and then lists links to each of the books of the bible beneath the intro. So its easy to click on [Genesis] to see Jonathan Edward's commentary on it. Or on [Mathew], or the [New Testament], etc. I wasn't able to find actual scans of the Blank Bible, but those probably are not as useful.

This is a great addition to the John Calvin and Martin Luther commentaries I previously shared. I need to figure out how to make one of these blank books with inline bible pages.

They have this book at SPU, and it's huge! It's cool that it's now available online. JE is a giant, but he knew what the real focus of theology, academics, philosophy, etc. is about; namely, it is centered on--God! If not, then it is rubbish.

I'm thankful for all his hard work and study and hope to learn more from him as I enter my later years.

My current dilemma is that I don't have enough time to read! I wish I could work part-time and read full time, hehe.
