John Williamson Nevin, American Theologian - Wentz, Richard E. (Professor of Religious Studies, Professor of Religious Studies, University of Arizona, USA)

This is an intellectual biography of a neglected figure in the history of theology in America, John Williamson Nevin. Nevin was a central figure in the so-called Mercerberg School of theology, which, during the middle decades of the nineteenth century, ran counter to the mainstream of Protestant thought, and was significantly influenced by German philosophy, theology, and history.
