Jonathan Edwards Evangelist by Dr. John H. Gerstner
Paperback • 192 pages • Acid-free paper
This book clarifies an important Puritan teaching—that sinners should seriously seek Christ even before they know they’re saved. This idea was once central to early Reformed preaching but is now mostly forgotten or misunderstood. Gerstner helps modern readers recover and understand it.
Originally published in 1960 as Steps to Salvation, this is Dr. Gerstner’s deep dive into how Edwards preached to the lost. He shows how sinners are called to press hard after Christ, while still resting completely on grace. This edition has been out of print for years and brings the message back—faithful and affordable.

About the Author
Though he didn’t belong to the Puritan era, Gerstner stood firm for the authority of Scripture and the heart of the gospel when many churches were drifting from sound teaching. Rooted in the United Presbyterian Church of North America, he became a leading voice in reviving interest in the theology of Puritan Jonathan Edwards.
Whether writing detailed studies or short, practical guides, Gerstner had one goal: to make deep truth clear and accessible. His life’s work still inspires believers to hold fast to God’s Word and live it out with conviction.

Quote from the book
Edwards is not only encouraging to seekers, but he seems even indulgent. He stresses the smallness of the necessary effort in comparison to the infinite value of the gift involved. (p. 102)
