Author Description

Excerpt from A History of New England Theology The present work had its origin in a series of lectures prepared for an elective course in Chicago Theological Seminary. The division into lectures, however, has not been retained because a treatment more instructive and better proportioned to the im portance of the several topics, it is thought, may be secured by presenting the subject in a narrative form. The aim of the present work is to trace the New Divinity, formerly so called, in its develop ment through the century between 1730 and 1830, through its Berkshire and Hopkinsian eras, to its final form as New England Theology.
