About this book
John Williamson Nevin's life has never been given the full attention that it deserves. That may be due in part to the controversial nature of his thinking. Yet in many respects, his enormous contribution to American religious history is acknowledged by those who have read him. He stood out as the great advocate of evangelical catholicism, and his call for a thorough examination of the place of the church in nineteenth-century theology was revolutionary. It was Nevin who first saw the threat to the church in the erosionof faith in the church as a divine institution sacramentally entrusted by God with the reclamation of the whole world--an erosionthat occurredwell before the Civil War in the hypersubjectivity of Protestant America.
