An Old Princeton Precedent for Today’s Reformed Writers

It is difficult to argue against the claim that Princeton Theological Seminary of Princeton, New Jersey occupied a—if not the—principal position of influence in shaping American Reformed Christianity in the nineteenth century. The years between its founding in 1812 and the resignation of Dr. J. Gresham Machen in 1929 are commonly referred to as the era of “Old Princeton,” and they are replete with important historical models and precedents for American Protestantism and Evangelicalism today. For just one example among many, consider the writing of Princeton’s second professor, Dr. Samuel Miller (1769-1850).
