What is John Williamson Nevin: American Theologian (Religion in America) about?
This Study Of The Life And Thought Of John Williamson Nevin (1803-1886) Offers A Revised Interpretation Of An Important Nineteenth-century Religious Thinker. Along With The Historian, Phillip Schaff, Nevin Was A Leading Exponent Of What Became Known As The Mercersburg Movement, Named For The College And Theological Seminary Of The German Reformed Church Located In Mercersburg, Pennsylvania. The Story Is A Neglected Aspect Of American Studies. Wentz Provides A Kind Of Post-modern Perspective On Nevin, Presenting Him As A Distinctively American Thinker, Rather Than As A Reactionary Romantic. Although Influenced By German Philosophy, Historical Studies, And Theology, Nevin's Thought Was A Profound Response To The American Public Context Of His Day. He Was, In Many Respects, A Public Theologian, Judging The Prevailing Development Of American Christianity As A New Religion That Was Fashioning Its Own Disintegration And That Of American Culture At Large. Nevin's Reinterpretation Of Catholicity In The American Context Opened The Way For A Radical Understanding Of Religion And Of American Public Life.
