The Early Writings
Dr. Gerstner studied at Westminster College and, the year Gresham Machen died, began to attend Westminster Theological Seminary. He pursued doctoral studies at Harvard where he received his Ph.D. in 1945. He also studied at universities in Pittsburgh, Boston, Zurich, Barcelona and Oxford. Dr. Gerstner had a brief pastorate, but soon accepted a position as a professor of church history at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary where he continued to teach until 1980. Dr. Gerstner was one of the most astute theologians of this century, having thoroughly digested the theology of Jonathan Edwards. One of his students was R.C. Sproul, who popularized and advanced what Dr. Gerstner stood for. These men developed the Ligonier Valley Study Center, from which came Ligonier Ministries, Tabletalk, and the national radio show "Renewing Your Mind."
Classical Apologetics
This work on apologetics examines the classical arguments for the existence of God (ontological and Thomistic arguments), discusses the philosophical issues that confront contemporary apologetics, and provides an incisive critique of presuppositional apologetics.
Theology for Everyman
Includes topics: the providence of God, election, sin, the person of Christ, the church and many others. Gerstner's point is that knowing theology is the business of every person, not just professionals.
Primitive Theology
During his lifetime Dr. Gerstner wrote 11 primers on different aspects of theology. Most of these have been out of print for years, but they are now gathered together in this collection which makes a fine compendium of Gerstner's thought as well a succinct introduction to Reformed theology. All of this material has been retypeset.
Jonathan Edwards
Before he wrote his massive Rational Biblical Theology of Jonathan Edwards, Gerstner wrote this introduction to the theology of Edwards. There are eleven chapters on such topics as Reason and Revelation, The Trinity, Man and His Fall, Sin, The Atonement, Justification, Sanctification, and several others. If you are not ready to tackle the large three-volume set, this would be a great place to start. If you simply want an introduction and overview of Edwards' theology, this is exactly what you've been looking for.
Foundations
Study guide for Foundations: An Overview of Systematic Theology includes lesson objectives, message outline, study questions, and discussion questions. Suitable for individual or group study.
Theology in Dialogue
This book is the last work Dr. Gerstner prepared for publication before his death in 1996. It is a mini-systematic theology in question and answer format. Dr. Gerstner gives 25 chapters of theology where an unregenerate inquirer is dialoging with a regenerate Christian. These are tough questions about all aspects of Christian doctrine including the nature and existence of God, heaven, hell, apologetics, justification, Romanism, sanctification, angels, and miracles. Very readable and engaging; contains a foreword by R.C. Sproul.
