This is from Wikipedia: Morton Howison Smith (December 11, 1923 to November 12, 2017) was an American Presbyterian minister. He was the first Stated Clerk of the Presbyterian Church in America, serving from 1973 to 1988, and also served as its Moderator in 2000. Smith had degrees from the University of Michigan, Columbia Theological Seminary and the Free University of Amsterdam. He taught at Belhaven College and Reformed Theological Seminary before becoming Stated Clerk of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America. Smith continued to serve as Professor of Systematic and Biblical Theology at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary in his retirement. In 2004, a Festschrift was published in his honor.

Cox was born in Rahway, New Jersey, of Quaker stock. After renouncing his religion and serving in the War of 1812, he studied law before entering the ministry. He was pastor of the Presbyterian church at Mendham, New Jersey from 1817 to 1821. He then moved to New York City where he was pastor of two churches from 1821 to 1834. Cox helped found the University of the City of New York, now New York University, in 1832, teaching classes in theology and contributing the college's motto. Due to his anti-slavery sentiments, he was mobbed, and his house and Laight Street church were sacked in the Anti-abolitionist riots (1834). He then move out of the city, and from 1834 to 1837 was professor of pastoral theology at Auburn. In a 1977 article in the Journal of Presbyterian History, Cox was described as an 'anti-Catholic, anti-Anglican, anti-Congregational ecumenist.' This work, 'Quakerism Not Christianity," generated at least one work in reply, the following year, by David Meredeith Reese, 'Quakerism Versus Calvinism: Being a Reply to Quakerism Not Christianity' (NY: William A. Mercein). It was printed by New York printer Daniel Fanshaw (1788-1860), referred to in an 1885 history of the trade as 'the greatest printer of his time.' During the War of 1812, Fanshaw served in the New York Militia at Harlem Heights alongside 1600 other volunteers sent to defend the city against British invaders expected to attack through Long Island Sound. He became the first printer for the American Bible Society and continued in that position for thirty years. His skill in combining three separate technologies - the stereotype printing process, the composition inking rollers process and the Treadwell steam power press - revolutionized the printing industry., D.

SUMMARY : This book is a study of the relationship between ideology and social behaviour. Professor Crew analyses the attitudes and characters of the Calvinist ministers who preached in the Netherlands in the mid-sixteenth century and their effect on the popular religious upheavals which occurred during the summer of 1566. The hedge-preaching and iconoclasm which erupted in the period before the Dutch Revolt have been the subject of considerable speculation among historians, who have have developed a variety of interpretations of these events. Professor Crew views the Troubles in the broader context of the international Calvinist movement and iconoclastic violence in France and England. She questions whether the Netherlands ministers were clearly and strongly Calvinist, whether they shared specific characteristics of personality, social status or education, and whether they were 'charismatic leaders' in the sense given to the term by Max Weber. Review: "Anyone interested in the rise of the Reformed Faith in the Netherlands and the background to the Belgic Confession of Faith must read Phyllis Mack Crew's work on preaching and iconoclasm in the midsixteenth Netherlands." -Daniel, R.

Thomas Forsyth Torrance, MBE FRSE (1913 –2007), commonly referred to as T. F. Torrance, was a Scottish Protestant theologian. Torrance served for 27 years as Professor of Christian Dogmatics at New College, Edinburgh in the University of Edinburgh. He is best known for his pioneering work in the study of science and theology, but he is equally respected for his work in systematic theology. While he wrote many books and articles advancing his own study of theology, he also edited the translation of several hundred theological writings into English from other languages, including the English translation of the thirteen-volume, six-million-word Church Dogmatics of Swiss theologian Karl Barth, as well as John Calvin's New Testament Commentaries. He was also a member of the famed Torrance family of theologians. Torrance has been acknowledged as one of the most significant English-speaking theologians of the twentieth century, and in 1978, he received the prestigious Templeton Foundation Prize for Progress in Religion. Torrance remained a dedicated churchman throughout his life, serving as an ordained minister in the Church of Scotland. He was instrumental in the development of the historic agreement between the Reformed and Eastern Orthodox Churches on the doctrine of the Trinity when a joint statement of agreement on that doctrine was issued between the World Alliance of Reformed Churches and the Orthodox Church on 13 March 1991. He retired from the University of Edinburgh in 1979, but continued to lecture and to publish extensively. Several influential books on the Trinity were published after his retirement: The Trinitarian Faith: The Evangelical Theology of the Ancient Catholic Church (1988); Trinitarian Perspectives: Toward Doctrinal Agreement (1994); and The Christian Doctrine of God, One Being Three Persons (1996). Torrancegives us much to think about in this book. As in so many other works what he is really calling for is a "change of mind," a "metanoia" on the part of the Christian to understand and to respond to what God has done for us in Jesus Christ. This requires a transformation of our mental apparatus, our mind--as we seek to interpret what we seek to know. Not an easy read, but then again is any of Torrance's work, easy? However, like all of Torrance's voluminous writings--it is well worth the effort!, William B. Eerdmans Publishing Co, 1984., Oxford: Oxford University ( Clarendon ) Press, 1990. FIRST EDITION.

Part 2 The theology - atonement and grace: authentic Calvinism; the legacy of Aristotle; doctrinal dilemas; the meaning of the cross; the verdict of scripture. Part 3 The theology - faith and justification: the reformation heritage; Christ's righteousness and ours; the obedience of faith; Paul and James. SUMMARY : This book examines and compares the theological views of Dr John Owen (1616-83), the Puritan pastor and theologian, and John Wesley (1703-91), the evangelist and founder of Methodism. Protracted doctrinal debate occurred during the period under review over the doctrines of atonement and justification, Owen and Wesley respectively representing the Calvinist and Arminian interpretations of the controversy. Dr Clifford demonstrates that the Arminian reaction to scholastic high Calvinism might have been avoided had theologians like Theodore Beza and John Owen pursued the relatively moderate theological formulations of John Calvin and the Anglican Reformers. Instead Owen buttressed his orthodoxy by resorting to Aristotelian logic and metaphysics, especially in his doctrine of limited atonement. Clifford indicates here that the suspected via media of Richard Baxter (1615-1619) and Archbishop Tillotson (1630-1694) is much closer to original Calvinism than has been allowed hitherto, confirming his verdict that, in several respects, Calvin's theology received a more authentic expression in Wesley's Arminianism than in Owen's high Calvinism. In this study Clifford seeks both to assess the various areas of the debate within the context of historical theology and to evaluate them according to the criteria of biblical exegesis. He offers for the first time a critical, in-depth discussion of the philosophical foundations of the ultra-orthodoxy of John Owen, and also expounds a positive solution to a controversy which was shelved rather than solved, and which continues to vex those who seek a coherent biblical grasp of the Reformed Faith. REVIEW : 'Readers of this book will find it refreshing to move in a theological atmosphere in which the leading contemporary Anglican theologians are John Stott ('Arminian'!) and J. I. Packer ('Calvinist'), and in which the current wave of liberalism is dismissed as a historically irrelevant sidetrack, detracting from the main issues of theology. This is a bold claim to make, and Dr Clifford is to be congratulated for making no concessions on this point ... an interesting book' Churchman 'lucid and intelligent book. The comparison is intelligent and cogent, and is a valuable contribution to our understanding of late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century evangelical theology in it own right. Journal of Theological Studies 'learned study ... a model of patient scholarship, and a constructive essay in historical theology' John L. Newton, Theology 'He has lived with his subject for a long time, and his treatment gains in attractiveness from the sense of liberation he has acquired in the course of it ... If revisionism means reclassification, here we have it, and no scholar of the period should miss the sport.' The Journal of Ecclesiastical History 'there is much that is compelling in Clifford's argument and it may be added that he expounds some difficult and complex themes with an enviable clarity and sympathy.' **Will be well-packed for posting/shipping**.8vo.

From Ray Olson's review in Booklist: "Rather than cleaving contemporary intellectual foolishness to its historical roots, Thornton starts at those roots, advances from the crucial eighteenth century to the present, and concludes with case studies of three modern loci of falsehood -- romantic environmentalism, the American Indian as ethical paragon, and goddess worship. The trouble all began with the Enlightenment assumption, founded on similar dispositions in classical Greek philosophy and scholastic Christianity, that knowledge bred virtue. Once a person knew the good, reason would compel realizing it, for humans are naturally inclined to goodness. Thereafter, romanticism demoted reason and preferred feeling but didn't dispute natural human goodness. Thus the stage was set for 'if it feels good, it is good' as the highest ethical standard, and all three current follies that Thornton analyzes are rife with the sentimental indulgence, self-righteousness, and contempt for empirical evidence, especially about human behavior, that the feel-good ethic fosters. Thornton's exposition is complex, yet as he draws the thoughts and interpretations of an impressive array of social critics into his grand intellectual-historical argument, his prose never becomes obscure, though Al Gore, Vine Deloria, Carol Christ, and other targets of his criticism have reason to wish it had.".
