Book Description
Excerpt from Memoir of the Life and Character of Ebenezer Porter, D.D., Late President of the Theological Seminary, Andover The likeness prefixed to the Memoir, though an exact copy of the painting from which it is taken, and which is in most respects a perfect work, exhibits a slight frown which was never observable on Dr. Porter's countenance, unless he was exercised with severe pain, or was engaged in intense study. For this defect in the portrait, he attributed no blame to the artist, who was a master in his profession: but supposed it to be owing to the structure of the room in which he sat for the painting, and to a tempo rary weakness of his eyes which rendered the light painful. The biographical sketch of the Hon. Thomas porter, though somewhat more extended than is usual in such cases, is inserted with the belief that it will render the volume more valuable to the numerous circle who were acquainted both with the father and the son; and with the hope that the intrinsic excel lence of the character, and the obvious bearing of the father's counsels and example on the character and usefulness of the son, will render it instructive to the general reader.

Clergy Education in America
Author: Larry Abbott Golemon
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0197552862
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Clergy have historically been represented as figures of authority, wielding great influence over our society. During certain periods of American history, members of the clergy were nearly ever-present in public life. But men and women of the clergy are not born that way, they are made. And therefore, the matter of their education is a question of fundamental public importance. In Clergy Education in America, Larry Golemon shows not only how our conception of professionalism in religious life has changed over time, but also how the education of religious leaders have influenced American culture. Tracing the history of clergy education in America from the Early Republic through the first decades of the twentieth century, Golemon tracks how the clergy has become increasingly diversified in terms of race, gender, and class in part because of this engagement with public life. At the same time, he demonstrates that as theological education became increasingly intertwined with academia the clergy's sphere of influence shrank significantly, marking a turn away from public life and a decline in their cultural influence. Clergy Education in America offers a sweeping look at an oft-overlooked but critically important aspect of American public life.
