Aprašymas

"As professor of Oriental and biblical literature at Princeton, succeeding Dr. Charles Hodge, Joseph Addison Alexander's life and contribution to theology is of enormous interest. For a long time, this biography could only be found on rare book lists. Its republication is gladly welcomed!" - Derek Thomas

"When J.A. Alexander died on January 28, 1860, Charles Hodge said, 'We have lost the greatest and one of the best men I ever knew.' The brilliant 'and somewhat eccentric' scholar taught almost every subject at Princeton Theological Seminary. He was a gifted preacher who moved congregations with the power and wisdom of his sermons. His Biblical commentaries remain in print as examples of careful and accurate exegesis and exposition. A life-long bachelor, he loved little children and created books and games for them. This biography was first published in 1870. Its author was Alexander's nephew, Henry Carrington Alexander, the son of J.W. Alexander (the subject's older brother). The author also pastored the same church his father and grandfather served at Charlotte Court House, Virginia. He later became professor of New Testament at Union Theological Seminary in Virginia." - David Calhoun, Professor Emeritus of Church History, Covenant Theological Seminary
