Aubert, Annette G.
"This essay addresses the pioneering biblical scholarship of Archibald
Alexander (1772–1851), the founding father of Princeton Theological
Seminary, in the contexts of biblical criticism and the academic Bible that
were being discussed and created at German universities. Alexander was
among the first nineteenth-century American Presbyterian professors to
interact with innovative research emerging from Europe, especially the
work of Johann David Michaelis (1717–1791). He is worthy of research
attention for establishing a central position for Princeton Theological
Seminary in the field of biblical studies, as well as for interacting with the
creators of the Enlightenment Bible while defending Calvinist theology
and epistemology."
