| biography:
| Protestant theologian, born in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. He studied at Johns Hopkins (1901) and Princeton Theological Seminary (1905), and taught at Princeton. He was ordained a Presbyterian minister in 1914 and served overseas with the Young Men's Christian Association during World War 1. A leading conservative during the controversy over fundamentalism in the 1920s, his Christianity and Liberalism (1923) argued that liberal theology and Christian faith were incompatible. In 1929 he was forced out of Princeton for his views, and was suspended from the ministry as a schismatic in 1935. |
