Princeton Seminary in American Religion and Culture

Princeton Seminary in American Religion and Culture by Moorhead, James H.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780802867520.

The story of Princeton Theological Seminary, the Presbyterian Churchs first seminary in America, begins in 1812, shortly after the United States had entered into its second war against Great Britain. Princeton went on to become a model of American theological education, setting the standard for subsequent seminaries and other religious higher education institutions. Princetons story is uniquely intertwined with American religious and cultural history, the history of theological education, the Presbyterian church, and conceptions of ministry in general. Thus, this volume will interest not only those with links to Princeton but also historians of religion, Presbyterians, leaders within seminaries and Christian colleges, and all who are interested in the history of Christian thought in America.
