I Have Loved Jacob invites readers to listen again to the biblical text on its own terms. Drawing on careful study of the ancient context, the Church's long interpretive memory, and recent archaeological and etymological research, the author shows that the Patriarch Jacob was not subjected to sustained moral censure by any major philosopher, theologian, or biblical commentator until the mid-sixteenth century. Across Jewish and Christian traditions prior to the Reformation, Jacob is consistently portrayed as a chosen patriarch, a man of faith, and a legitimate heir of the covenantal promises. Only with the rise of Reformed theology does a radical reinterpretation emerge, recasting Jacob as a deceiver or manipulator.
