A Scribe Well-trained: Archibald Alexander and the Life of Piety (Profiles in Reformed Spirituality)

A Scribe Well-Trained acquaints us with the life and writings of Princeton Theological Seminary s founding professor, Archibald Alexander (1772 1851). In the opening biographical sketch, James M. Garretson introduces us to the things that influenced Alexander and how he sought to cultivate godliness in himself, the men he trained, and people to whom he ministered. Garretson reinforces this through fifty-six short excerpts from across the published writings of Alexander, allowing us to experience firsthand the richness of Old Princeton spirituality.
