I would recommend taking this course because if you're a minister or becoming a minister it's good to know what Edwards' ideas were on all matters of religion as far as what the Bible says.

I would recommend studying the theology of Jonathan Edwards. He's very interesting. I learned a lot. Even though sometimes he went off the grid he always ended back at biblical concepts.

I love these "legacy" lectures. I found Dr. Gerstner difficult in the beginning and I struggled with it but now I wish there were more by him. I learn so much from every one of the courses I take. God bless you for being there!

I belong to the Facebook Group Reformed Church History, where I have recently linked your site and highly recommended others take advantage of the great things you offer here. I have enjoyed listening to the teachings of John Gerstner before and this course was such a great find that I had to take it!
