Timothy Dwight
http://en.wikiped...Ace work, Jon!<br /><br />Timothy Dwight <br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Dwight_IV<br /><br />becomes head of Yale in 1795, Harvard already having been taken over permanently by the unitarians if I recall correctly.<br /><br />Dwight makes a distinction here between<br /><br /><i>Unitarians, as well as Infidels,</i><br /><br />That jumped out at me, as though he's not ready to give up on the unitarians as "Christian." <br /><br />21st Century update: Timothy Dwight's version of Christianity holds, "unitarianism" proving itself to be a theological fad that becomes today's Unitarian Universalist Church, which rejects the Bible as Divine Writ; indeed you don't even have to believe in God to be a UU.<br />_______<br />*Wiki:<br /><br /><i>During troubled times at Yale University, president Timothy Dwight saw his students drawn to the radical republicanism and “infidel philosophy” of the French Revolution, including the philosophies of Hume, Hobbes, Tindal, and Lords Shaftesbury and Bolingbroke. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1797.<br /><br />Between 1797 and 1800, Dwight frequently warned audiences against the threats of this “infidel philosophy” in America. An address to the candidates for the baccalaureate in Yale College called "The Nature and Danger of Infidel Philosophy, Exhibited in Two Discourses, Addressed to the Candidates for the Baccalaureate, In Yale College" was delivered on September 9, 1797. It was published by George Bunce in 1798. This book is credited as one of the embers of the Second Great Awakening.</i><br />Tom Van Dykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121072404143877596noreply@blogger.com
