Riassunto

This book is a diverse collection of essays exploring the life, scholarly work, and cultural impact of esteemed minister Edward Robinson. Beginning with the author's New England Puritan lineage, the text traces the development of Robinson's religious, social, and academic life from the influence of his farmer father to his travels abroad to his eventual teaching post at Andover Theological Seminary. These essays examine the scholarly breadth of Robinson's endeavors, from his work with Semitic languages to his role as editor of periodicals to his ground-breaking studies of geography. The book also discusses the major themes of Robinson's work: the importance of scientific exploration and a focus on historical accuracy in interpreting the Bible. Robinson is presented as both a pious man of unwavering faith and a meticulous scholar committed to academic rigor and open to new discoveries. The work concludes with a reflection on Robinson's enduring legacy in the field of biblical scholarship and his enduring impact on a more informed and engaged study of religion.
