John Hall
FORTY YEARS FAMILIAR LETTERS: The Life & Letters of J.W. Alexander by John Hall
"Eldest son of Archibald Alexander (the first professor of Princeton Theological Seminary), James Waddell Alexander became pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Trenton, New Jersey and was the translator of the widely-known hymn, 'O Sacred Head Now Wounded.' These letters between two close friends provide valuable theological and pastoral insights from the mid-nineteenth century. A fascinating book! " Derek Thomas, John E Richards Professor of Theology, RTS Jackson; Minister of Teaching, First Presbyterian Church, Jackson; and Editorial Director, Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals
"During his second year at Princeton University, James W. Alexander, son of Archibald Alexander (Princeton Theological Seminary's first professor), began a correspondence with John Hall, a Philadelphia friend, which continued for forty years (1819-1859). After Alexander's death on July 31, 1859, Charles Hodge urged John Hall to publish the almost 800 letters, saying that it 'would be a unique work. It would be a literary, theological, religious and conversational history of the past forty years.' " David Calhoun, Professor Emeritus of Church History, Covenant Theological Seminary
"Forty Year's Familiar Letters contains fascinating autobiographical reflections of James Waddell Alexander (1804-1859), the oldest son of Archibald Alexander, and a well-known pastor for a quarter century before becoming professor of Ecclesiastical History at Princeton Seminary in 1849. This book is teeming with historical, practical, and experiential insights growing out of nineteenth-century American Presbyterianism seen through the lenses of James W.'s own experience." -Dr. Joel Beeke
CHARLES HODGE, great Princeton theologian, strongly urged John Hall to publish this treasure trove of letters. He believed that these 800+ letters were "of such peculiar interest and value" that they deserved to be published. He stated, "This would be a unique work. It would be a literary, a theological, a religious, and a conversational history of the last forty years."
