"Alexander's LOG COLLEGE was a labor
of
love as well as a work of history. The
Princeton professor provides us with a
balanced and sympathetic look at the
founder and students of the school that
established a model for the College of
New Jersey (Princeton College),
Princeton Seminary, and a host of other
colleges and seminaries. Pastors,
seminary students, and lovers of church
history should read this book." - David
B. Calhoun, Professor of Church
History, Covenant Theological Seminary,
St. Louis, Missouri
"The Log College is biographical
writing at is best. William Tennent's
efforts to train young men (including
his four sons) for Presbyterian
ministry, which eventuated in building
a simple log building in 1735 that
became known as the Log College, makes
for a fascinating read. The fact that
this book is written by Archibald
Alexander, first professor at Princeton
Theological Seminary and founder of the
Princeton Theology, only enhances the
historical value and pietistic flavor
of this long-treasured work. Like no
other, this book presents us with the
authentic roots and birth pangs of the
Great Awakening." - -Joel R. Beeke,
Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary,
Grand Rapids, Michigan
