Princeton Theological Seminary
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by RJJensen (talk | contribs) at 03:54, April 16, 2009. It may differ significantly from current revision.
Princeton Theological Seminary began in 1812. It is noteworthy for sponsoring the highly conservative Princeton Theology of Archibald Alexander and Charles Hodge.
In the 1920s Liberal Christians forced out the Conservative Christians who still promoted the old Princeton Theology. Thus, in 1929 J. Gresham Machen left Princeton Theological Seminary and helped found Orthodox Presbyterian Church and Westminster Theological Seminary.
