under God

February 27th, 2006

Dr. John H. Gerstner (1914-1996) was one of the most renowned Jonathan Edwards scholars. i have had the immense privelege of taking a course on the theology of Edwards, which Dr. Gerstner thankfully completed before he died. the course has been a tremendous blessing for me, especially given that i have a personal goal to complete doctoral work in Edwards studies at some point in my life. apart from this legacy, the good doctor was also renowned for giving a set of the two volume Banner of Truth edition of The Works of Jonathan Edwards to anyone who made a vow under God to complete the reading of both volumes within a year of receiving them. to my great amazement and joy, this is apparently still being carried on even though he has long since gone to be with the Lord. i received my set on thursday, and thus bind myself to the vow.

Resolved, having received the gift from the late Dr. Gerstner and thereby making a vow under God accordingly, to finish the reading of both volumes within the time period of a year, thus being February 24, 2007.

may God grant me patience and endurance in completing this task.
