One of the most important works that has ever been published is the biography of JOHN WILLIAMSON NEVIN, written by his disciple and co-worker, THEODORE APPEL. It is the work of a ripe scholar and master of the great subject undertaken by him, and well has he performed his task. It is a work which required arduous painstaking and labor, though from first to last a labor of love, the final result being a magnificent monument to the memory of the grandest and noblest historical personage of the present age. All persons who take a real interest in the truth as it is in Jesus, and have made sufficient progress in Christian knowledge to grasp and appropriate the profound thoughts of Dr. Nevin, should by all means possess a copy of Dr. Appel's book. And this, no matter to what denomination they may belong. Dr. Nevin was far above denomination or Church party, a Catholic in the broadest and best sense, who knew only the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, and no other. All persons who can rise to that plane of Apostolic Christianity, or have the mind and wish to do so, would be greatly benefited by reading Dr. Appel's great work. Then why this little book on the same subject? Answer: Just because it is a little book, intended for people who will never read the great and large one of Dr. Appel. This alone is the humble author's reason for writing it. He would rejoice exceedingly if the large work would find its way into every intelligent Christian household; but knowing that such will not be the case, he offers to the general public this little book, with the humble consciousness of its extreme littleness as compared with the greatness of its subject. It is written for people who, after reading it, it is hoped, will want the other book. May the blessing of God rest upon this earnest, honest, though imperfect, design of the author.

THIS biography needs no apology. It is the history of a noble life and an exalted character. In whatever light he may be viewed, Dr. Nevin occupies high rank among the distinguished men of his age. An eminent scholar, a profound theologian, an independent thinker, a vigorous writer and an earnest Christian, he exerted a powerful influence, which will not cease to be felt for many generations to come. It is only right, therefore, that the life and labors of one who touched the higher spiritual interests of humanity at so many points should be recorded, that the world may know what manner of man he was, what truths he taught, what conflicts he waged, and what measure of success he achieved. Dr. Nevin was a man of broad and thorough scholarship. With a strong and richly endowed mind well disciplined by years of hard study, he accumulated vast treasures of learning, which were ever at his command. There are few departments of knowledge in which he was not at home. When he entered on the study of theology and philosophy, in which he rose to such great eminence, he had already laid a solid foundation in the Classics, mathematics and history. Equipped with a thorough knowledge of Hebrew and Greek, he was well fitted, both by his attainments and his tastes, for the pursuit of Biblical science, to which his earliest official labors were devoted; and it is not improbable that, if he had continued to make this branch of theology his specialty, he would have come to stand among the foremost Biblical scholars of America. But when called to Mercersburg, it became his duty to teach dogmatic theology in the Seminary, and, after the death of Dr. Rauch, philosophy in Marshall College. His brief contact with that able and genial scholar afforded him a deeper insight into the immense wealth of German thought, of which he had only had a passing and unsatisfactory glimpse before. He had already acquired a good working knowledge of the language, and he now devoted himself to the arduous task of mastering the whole field of German philosophy and theology. It was at a time when, in this country at least, all German systems alike were regarded with suspicion; but in his unwearied search for truth, he determined to make their acquaintance, and was rewarded by having a new intellectual world opened up to his view. His learning, though broad and varied, was especially marked by thoroughness. He had no ambition to be an encyclopedia of knowledge. To have full mastery of one subject was infinitely more to him than to have a superficial acquaintance with many. He was not a man who kept himself constantly surrounded by a great multitude of books. It was a surprise to his friends, at least during the latter period of his life, to find how few books he had at hand. You entered his study, but saw no library. On his writing-table lay his Hebrew Old Testament and his Greek New Testament, which were never absent from his side, and besides these a very few works connected with the study on which his mind was then engaged. These he read and re-read and inwardly digested, till their contents became part of his very self. Any subject which claimed his attention completely absorbed him, and for the time filled his conversation as well as his thoughts. He kept it constantly before his mind until he saw it in all its length and breadth, its height and depth.

John Williamson Nevin’s life has never been given the full attention that it deserves. That may be due in part to the controversial nature of his thinking. Yet in many respects, his enormous contribution to American religious history is acknowledged by those who have read him. He stood out as the great advocate of evangelical catholicism, and his call for a thorough examination of the place of the church in nineteenth-century theology was revolutionary. It was Nevin who first saw the threat to the church in the erosion of faith in the church as a divine institution sacramentally entrusted by God with the reclamation of the whole world—an erosion that occurred well before the Civil War in the hypersubjectivity of Protestant America.

This biography, written by a provocative, prolific historian, gives readers insights into Nevin's critique of the revivalist tradition and shows how it applies today. Hart recovers a nearly forgotten nineteenth-century theologian and demonstrates his ongoing relevance. This book is extensively documented, and includes a substantial bibliographical essay and an index. Nevin (1803-1886) taught at Mercersburg Seminary when he wrote The Anxious Bench (1843) and The Mystical Presence (1846), volumes dealing with revivalism and the Lord's Supper, respectively. The last ten years have seen a revival of interest in this theologian, who was a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary and who substituted for Hodge during his two-year study-leave in Europe.

The Dictionary of Early American Philosophers, which contains over 400 entries by nearly 300 authors, provides an account of philosophical thought in the United States and Canada between 1600 and 1860. The label of "philosopher" has been broadly applied in this Dictionary to intellectuals who have made philosophical contributions regardless of academic career or professional title. Most figures were not academic philosophers, as few such positions existed then, but they did work on philosophical issues and explored philosophical questions involved in such fields as pedagogy, rhetoric, the arts, history, politics, economics, sociology, psychology, medicine, anthropology, religion, metaphysics, and the natural sciences. Each entry begins with biographical and career information, and continues with a discussion of the subject's writings, teaching, and thought. A cross-referencing system refers the reader to other entries. The concluding bibliography lists significant publications by the subject, posthumous editions and collected works, and further reading about the subject.
