Soli Deo Gloria
""In an era of church history when theology is in chaos, the church is being shaken at its foundations, and Christian ethics shift and slide with every novel ideology," writes the editor in the preface, "we are grateful for the vivid example of one who stands in the midst of confusion as a 'bright and burning light.'" Fifteen scholars--mentors, colleagues, and students of Dr. John H. Gerstner--join together in this volume to express their gratefulness to one of the leading evangelical theologians of our day. Of special significance is the essay contributed by Dr. John Murray, written just a few weeks before his death, entitled "Irresistible Grace."" --Publisher
Reasons for Faith
This book has been written because a friend, whose suggestions have always carried the force of commands with me, a long time ago urged me to write it. He knows this field far better than I, and since he said that there was a need for such a work, I assumed it was true. It did not follow that I was the one to attempt to meet this need. My friend, for one, was far better qualified than I, as I told him more than once. But since his suggestions are my commands, not mine his, I wrote the book. I laid down one stipulation, however: that he read and criticize the manuscript. This he has done, for which I am most grateful. He has also done me another and still greater favor in permitting me to ded...
John Gerstner and the Renewal of Presbyterian and Reformed Evangelicalism in Modern America
John Gerstner (1914-96) was a significant leader in the renewal of Presbyterian and Reformed evangelicalism in America during the second half of the twentieth century. Gerstner's work as a church historian sought to shape evangelicalism, but also northern mainline Presbyterianism. In order to promote evangelical thought he wrote, taught, lectured, debated, and preached widely. In pursuing his aims he promoted the work of the great colonial theologian Jonathan Edwards. He also defended and endorsed biblical inerrancy and the Old Princeton theology. Gerstner was a sharp critic of theological modernism and what he considered its negative influence on the church. Part of Gerstner's fame was his ...
John H. Gerstner
Long before he was a theologian of great reputation, Dr. Gerstner was a pastor. He began writing regular articles in the early 1940's for the United Presbyterian magazine and later for Moody Monthly and Christianity Today. Many of these articles are included in this valuable collection. Additionally, there is a seven part series on "Justification by Faith." Mrs. Gerstner loved these articles because they show her husband's pastoral side.

Did Jesus Teach Salvation by Works?
Jesus teaches that regardless of one's profession, if one does not demonstrate a changed life produced by God, one will not enter into heaven. Such a judgment will be made when Jesus returns and judges every person according to his or her "works." While this may seem contradictory to some more well-known passages ruling out the role of works in salvation (e.g., Rom 3:21-4:25; Gal 2:16-21; Eph 2:8-9), there is every good reason to understand that Jesus' teachings complement such passages. The works that admit one into heaven are not works produced by the flesh before conversion but works produced by God after conversion. They will fundamentally be characterized by a life of discipleship, love for others, and endurance in faith and obedience, and will therefore serve to confirm that one indeed did have a relationship with God during one's life.
