Book desription: New York: Clark, Austin and Smith, 1859. First edition. Two octavo volumes. Frontispiece portrait, xiii, [1], 417, [1]; viii, 423, [1] pp. Publisher;s brown cloth, blocked in blind, gilt spine lettering, Some light chipping to spine extremities but overall a very good copy of this scarce title in the original cloth. During the late 1820s and early 1830s, Connecticut's Congregational clergy split into Taylorite and Tylerite factions, so-called after their eponyms, Nathaniel William Taylor and Bennet Tyler. The Tylerites denounced Taylor's New Haven Theology for having made heretical departures from the strict bounds of Hopkinsian orthodoxy, which had reigned as the evangelical standard in southern New England since the 1790s. Modern scholarship now finds that Taylor was not the Old Calvinist or Arminian that his accusers and many subsequent historians have made him out to be. Rather, Taylor was a product of Connecticut's Edwardsian theological tradition that was nurtured by the New Divinity followers of Jonathan Edwards. As Taylor himself claimed, his theological priorities all followed Edwards's, and his innovations were all extensions of the master's themes.
