Loetscher /f Lefferts /i A.
?A biography of the public life (his personal and family life is
left relatively untouched) of Alexander from his earliest years
through his final career as founder and shaper of Princeton
Theological Seminary. ... This is the only lengthy and satisfactory
treatment of Alexander; it is based on wide use of primary sources
as well as of secondary works. And the book throws light not only
on Alexander and his seminary but also on East Coast Protestant
seminaries in general during the antebellum period. Copious
endnotes, a fine bibliography, and an index round out this
book.?-ADRIS

of Alexander's life and thought, setting him fully within his

struggling for stability for himself and others in the wake of the
religious, social, and intellectual changes of his times. ...
Loetscher's work is a masterful study by a veteran historian of a
figure whose influence extended in many directions.?-The Journal of
the American Academy of Religion
