      Editor’s Introduction

      That Gelston’s Systematic Collection has unique value for systematic theologians, over and above (or at least complimentary to) the works of Bellamy and Hopkins, is the chief interest of this editor’s introduction and proceeds in two stages to a conclusion. In the first stage, we lay out a biographical sketch of Gelston’s life. As a means of showing the value of Gelston’s work for contemporary systematic-theological scholarship, in stage two, we offer up a case study of the doctrine of atonement in New England theology, comparing Gelston’s set of atonement-specific questions and answers with those works on the atonement of his mentor, Jonathan Edwards Jr. Our comparative case study develops in the context of the larger developing New England Theological tradition from the perspective of one recent and compelling argument for Jonathan Edwards Jr’s “Penal Non-Substitution” model of atonement, put forward by the British philosophical theologian Oliver Crisp. We conclude with several suggestions for how a resource such as Gelston’s Systematic Collection might best serve the ever-growing research into this rich and controversial theological period of history. Let us turn our attention first to a brief biographical sketch of Gelston.
