J. Edwards and Communion

[zsmcd]

I am writing a paper for a class on the World of Jonathan Edwards and I am trying to think through a thesis involving the whole halfway covenant controversy, J. Edwards' understanding of church membership, and his view of the participants of the Lords Supper.

Any suggestions as far as books/journal articles/etc. go - to help me get my thesis together and do some research?

So far I have his Works from Banner of Truth, A Life by Marsden, and McDermott's work on his theology. I can't seem to find a copy of Gerstner's work on his theology in my school's library, so I may need to purchase that one or find someone to borrow it from.

It has been a while since I read this so maybe this will help.

Perfect, thank you!

Iain Murray wrote a helpful bio on JE. You might also visit the JE page at edwards.yale.edu, as it is searchable and includes nearly his entire corpus (which quite eclipses the 2 vol. BOT edition).

Does anyone know where I may be able to access Iain Murray's biography and John Gerstner's work on his theology?

I meant to access and read for free online - via an online library or something

But I probably will just go ahead and purchase the bio.
