In 2023, Robert Boss was invited to execute Phase Two and significantly expand the commentaries to integrate the “Blank Bible” with Edwards’s entire 73-volume corpus. Phase Two breaks down Edwards’s sermons, treatises, and notebooks into a line-by-line Scripture commentary woven tightly into the KJV New Testament. These commentaries showcase Edwards as deeply engaged with the Bible, adding context and depth. Comprehensive footnotes were added to connect the commentaries to the Yale critical edition of Edwards’s works, fully capturing the interconnectedness of his thoughts.

Theology & the Art of Temptation Series

These guides to leading souls astray are a blend of historical theology and devilish cunning that will captivate and educate thoughtful believers, seekers, and the curious alike.

Meeting Christ at His Table
This learned and judicious treatment of Jonathan Edwards’ doctrine of the Lord’s Supper is now the place to begin for serious readers. It places Edwards’ doctrine reliably in historical, practical, and theological context, helping students understand the reasons Edwards was ejected from his pulpit in Northampton—and helping Christians participate in this sacrament more faithfully and holily. – Douglas A. Sweeney, Beeson Divinity School Samford University
