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.

If God gave me the opportunity to apply my mind to the fullest for the next 250 years, I wouldn’t begin to know what John Gerstner knew. - R.C. Sproul

Quote from the book
So evil is bad and against God’s nature, but its existing must be good for the purpose God has. So the evil is bad, but not the good God brings out of it. He could not bring good out of evil without evil’s existing. So it is good that evil exists, though evil as existing is bad. This is the divine method, not divine madness. (p. 35)
