Book Description
Excerpt from The Life and Work of John Williamson Nevin D. D., LL. D 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. Ranch, 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.

Book Description
The five-volume Oxford History of Dissenting Protestant Traditions series is governed by a motif of migration ('out-of-England'). It first traces organized church traditions that arose in England as Dissenters distanced themselves from a state church defined by diocesan episcopacy, the Book of Common Prayer, the Thirty-Nine Articles, and royal supremacy, but then follows those traditions as they spread beyond England -and also traces newer traditions that emerged downstream in other parts of the world from earlier forms of Dissent. Secondly, it does the same for the doctrines, church practices, stances toward state and society, attitudes toward Scripture, and characteristic patterns of organization that also originated in earlier English Dissent, but that have often defined a trajectory of influence independent ecclesiastical organizations. The Oxford History of Protestant Dissenting Traditions, Volume III considers the Dissenting traditions of the United Kingdom, the British Empire, and the United States in the nineteenth century. It provides an overview of the historiography on Dissent while making the case for seeing Dissenters in different Anglophone connections as interconnected and conscious of their genealogical connections. The nineteenth century saw the creation of a vast Anglo-world which also brought Anglophone Dissent to its apogee. Featuring contributions from a team of leading scholars, the volume illustrates that in most parts of the world the later nineteenth century was marked by a growing enthusiasm for the moral and educational activism of the state which plays against the idea of Dissent as a static, purely negative identity. This collection shows that Dissent was a political and constitutional identity, which was often only strong where a dominant Church of England existed to dissent against.
