Summary
Cotton Mather's commentaries on Proverbs through Jeremiah are a treasure trove for scholars interested in the development of Protestant thought during the period of the early Enlightenment. The volume shows the struggle of exegetes in Mather's generation to adjust traditional interpretations of the Old Testament to a growing awareness of the historicity of the Scriptures.
