Interpreting Edwards: An Overview and Analysis of John H. Gerstner s The Rational Biblical Theology of Jonathan Edwards

by W. Gary Crampton

Interpreting Edwards is written as an overview and analysis of Dr. John H. Gerstner s three volume The Rational Biblical Theology of Jonathan Edward. Gerstner s work is the most thorough study of the theology of Jonathan Edwards yet published. As this book reveals, his theology was very much in line with the teaching of the Westminster Standards, which are comprised of the Westminster Confession of Faith (1647), and the Larger (1648) and Shorter (1648) Catechisms, and to which he confessed his adherence. The purpose of this book, in giving an overview and analysis of Gerstner s work, is to use it as somewhat of a guideline and springboard for a more in depth study of the Puritan sage, aided by numerous other writings by and about Edwards, which are included in the extensive bibliography.
