Gillespie, President Of Princeton Theological Seminary, that great bastion of the Reformed faith. I confess that the word bastion caused me to slink down in my chair behind the pulpit and cover my eyes. How often had I already heard this school associated with a circle the wagons or go into laager mentality? SO at lunch after the service, I gently chided my host about his introduction. He looked surprised, and when I mentioned the term bastion he said, I hope you do not think that I was being pejorative. I pray for your school every day of my life, that it will keep its finger in the dike. For if Princeton Seminary goes the way certain divinity schools have gone and Others are going, it will be all over for mainline Protestantism in this country. The full significance of that comment did not register until later when I attended an international meeting akin to our American Academy of Religion held in Melbourne, Australia. There I participated in a workshop led by Dr. Conrad Cherry, at the time professor of religious studies at Indiana. It was a progress report on a research project, funded by the Lilly Endowment, that focused on the history, present state, and future prospects of the relationship between so - called theological studies and religious studies in American aca demia. It was for me an eye Opener. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
