John Williamson Nevin
One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic, Tome 2

Über den Autor
John Williamson Nevin (1803-86) was an innovative and controversial American theologian. Although reared in Presbyterianism, Nevin 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. John Williams Proudfit (1803-70) was a classicist and ecclesial historian who taught at New York University and New Brunswick Seminary. His more bibiliocentric Reformed theology motivated him to passionately and causticly critique Nevin's work. Lee Barrett is a professor of theology at Lancaster Theological Seminary. He has authored several books and articles interpreting the writings of Soren Kierkegaard, and is a coeditor of the Mercersburg Theology Study Series.
