Stray Recollections, Short Articles and Public Orations of James P. Boyce

SKU 428 Category

When the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary was founded in 1859, the single most influential person behind its establishment was James Petigru Boyce, the privileged first-born son of the second wife of a wealthy South Carolina entrepreneur, Ker Boyce. When the Seminary’s young life was threatened with extermination by the Civil War and the economic terrors that followed, many heroes emerged for reviving it, but, again, the one on whom it most singularly depended was Boyce.

This book comes as an effort to increase knowledge and understanding about the developing talents of Boyce and his persevering pursuit of theological education for Baptists of the South. To accomplish that, it includes some documents never before published as well as some that have been published in full and others in part.
