The Log College: Biographical Sketches of the Founder and Principal Alumni (Illustrated) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Styled ‘The Log College’ in derision on account of the simple building in which lessons took place, nevertheless the spiritual fruit that arose from this founding institution for the training of ministers can hardly be overestimated. The focus on fervent spirituality and evangelistic endeavour was greatly blessed by the Lord and widespread revival was experienced.Archibald Alexander (1772-1851), first Principal at the Princeton Theological Seminary, draws on a variety of original sources to give a fascinating insight into this period and the individuals involved. The sketches in this volume cover the lives of William Tennent, senior, who founded the College, together with those associated with it: John Tennent, Gilbert Tennent, William Tennent, junior, Charles Tennent, Samuel Blair, John Blair, Samuel Finley, William Robinson, John Rowland and Charles Beatty.First issued in 1845, this edition has been completely re-typeset for issue as an eBook and includes a number of illustrations.
