Gundlach\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCharles Hodge, James McCosh, B. B. Warfield -- these leading professors at Princeton College and Seminary in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are famous for their orthodox Protestant positions on the doctrine of evolution. In this book Bradley Gundlach explores the surprisingly positive embrace of developmental views by the whole community of thinkers at old Princeton, showing how they embraced the development not only of the cosmos and life-forms but also of Scripture and the history of doctrine, even as they defended their historic Christian creed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDecrying an intellectual world gone \"evolution-mad,\" the old Princetonians nevertheless welcomed evolution \"properly limited and explained.\" Rejecting historicism and Darwinism, they affirmed developmentalism and certain non-Darwinian evolutionary theories, finding process over time through the agency of second causes -- God's providential rule in the world -- both enlightening and polemically useful. They also took care to identify the pernicious causes and effects of antisupernatural evolutionisms. By the 1920s their nuanced distinctions, together with their advocacy of both biblical inerrancy and modern science, were overwhelmed by the brewing fundamentalist controversy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the first American review of the pre-Darwinian \u003ci\u003eVestiges of the Natural History of Creation\u003c\/i\u003e to the Scopes Trial and the forced reorganization of Princeton Seminary in 1929, \u003ci\u003eProcess and Providence\u003c\/i\u003e reliably portrays the preeminent conservative Protestants in America as they defined, contested, and answered -- precisely and incisively -- the many facets of the evolution question.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 408\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.07 x 8.95 x 6.13 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47408667689138,"sku":"9780802868985","price":46.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/cb5a55eccf8c145e66196dd31a2a1669.webp?v=1778250185","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/process-and-providence-the-evolution-question-at-princeton-1845-1929-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
