I Have Loved Jacob by Joseph Hoffman Cohn American Board of Missions to the Jews Inc 1948- First edition 5" x 7.5" 109 pages Vintage hardcover with dust jacket. Red boards. Dust jacket has wear. Some foxing on the pages. "Here is a book that is decidedly different and quite unusual. Every chapter is written with a passionate conviction because the author deeply and sincerely believes it is necessary to properly appraise a much maligned and misunderstood man and to help the reader to a scriptural appreciation of a great patriarch. The title of the book will stimulate the curious interest of the reading public and the contents will provoke considerable thought. They will give reason for reflection as to why the motives of Jacob have been so much impugned and his character made the target of many hateful antagonisms. The book will incite many to indignation because of preconceptions and previous conclusions, but as they follow the scriptural and logical presentation of the argument the indignation will give way to admiration for the author, and for the man Jacob who has held such a unique place in the life of Israel and was under the covenant care of God in spite of the satanic machinations against him."
