Robert Lewis DABNEY - A Southern PRESBYTERIAN Life / Sean Michael Lucas

Robert Lewis Dabney A Southern Presbyterian Life. Sean Michael Lucas. P&R Publishing. \nRobert Lewis Dabney (1820-1898) was a Presbyterian theologian and educator who served on the faculties of Union Theological Seminary in Virginia, the University of Texas, and Austin Theological Seminary. Those who knew him--both friends and foes--viewed him as larger than life, \""closer to a biblical prophet than a theological professor,\"" writes Sean Lucas. As this biography explains, \""Dabney was far more complex than either historians or admirers concede.\"" He was \""in many ways a representative man, one who embodied the passions and contradictions of nineteenth-century Southerners.\"" As such he \""provides a window into the postbellum Southern Presbyterian mind\"" and a reminder of how important nineteenth-century theology is for contemporary issues and debates.\n\nCloth (hardcover) with dust jacket295 pages including index\nFor condition please consult note at listing top
