The Pastor: His Call, Character, and Work

Written by faculty and friends of Old Princeton, with an introduction by Sinclair B. Ferguson. The authors included in this small clothbound collection: William S. Plumer (1802-80) J. W. Alexander (1804-59) Archibald Alexander (1771-1851) Charles Hodge (1797-1878) Samuel Miller (1769-1850) Ashbel Green (1762-1848) Nicholas Murray (1802-61) The authors of The Pastor: His Call, Character, and Work were all men closely associated, either as students, professors, or in one case a director, with Princeton Theological Seminary, which was established in 1812 by the Presbyterian Church of the United States of America. It was founded as a ‘nursery of vital piety as well as of sound theological learning…to train up persons for the ministry who shall be lovers as well as defenders of the truth as it is in Jesus, friends of revivals of religion, and a blessing to the church of God.’
