Produktbeschreibung
During the relatively short history of American Protestantism countless pastors, theologians, and pastor-theologians have addressed a variety of pragmatic issues facing Christian congregations. No one has done so with greater theological precision and passion than the Reformed theologian John Williamson Nevin (1803-1886). Nevin made his mark in American Protestantism with the publication of The Anxious Bench and The Mystical Presence. In this volume, Sam Hamstra brings to light Nevin's previously unpublished "Lectures on Pastoral Theology," a work that provides students with a more comprehensive portrait of one of the nineteenth century's leading Reformed theologians in America. Hamstra's introduction provides an important companion to Nevin's "Lectures," one that includes application for twenty-first-century pastors, as well as a surprise for those familiar with Nevin's critique of New Measures.
Autorenporträt
John Williamson Nevin (1803-86) was an innovative and controversial American theologian. Although reared in Presbyterianism, he became the premier exponent of the ""Mercersburg Theology"" of the German Reformed Church. He promoted a view of Christianity as evolving, focused on the incarnation, and centered in the sacraments. Adam S. Borneman is a Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) pastor and independent scholar based in Atlanta, Georgia, where he currently serves as program director with The Ministry Collaborative. He is the author of Church, Sacrament, and American Democracy: The Social and Political Dimensions of John Williamson Nevin's Theology of Incarnation (2011). Patrick Carey is emeritus professor of theology at Marquette University, former chair of Marquette's Department of Theology, a past president of the American Catholic Historical Association, and author or editor of over twenty books and numerous articles on American Catholic life and thought.
