Mercersburg Theology was a unique theological movement in American religious history. German-American in its roots, it found a birthplace in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania in the 1800s. Spurred on by John Williamson Nevin’s teaching and insight, this Reformed sect, deeply controversial during its time, was at the center of much debate. This 13-volume collection amasses two biographies and 11 of Nevin’s key texts, bringing to light this famed Mercersburg theologian’s thought and influence. It includes Nevin’s response to an impending outbreak of Asiatic cholera, a reference guide to biblical antiquities, and his eulogy for Frederick Augustus Rauch, the first president of Marshall College.

In July of 1832, a city-wide fast was observed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The danger of an Asiatic cholera outbreak loomed over the city and John Williamson Nevin took center stage at the First Presbyterian church to address the “angel of death” standing on the “borders with a commission to destroy”. His sermon implored people not only to pray and humble themselves before God, but also to seek practical, preventative safeguards against the potential plague. This volume includes his full sermon along with the resolution correspondence concerning the city-wide fast.
