Robert Lewis Dabney
a Southern Presbyterian life
by Sean Michael Lucas
Robert Lewis Dabney (1820–1898) was a Presbyterian theologian and educator who served on the faculties of Union Theological Seminary in Virginia, the University of Texas, and Austin Theological Seminary. Those who knew him -- both friends and foes -- viewed him as larger than life, "closer to a biblical prophet than a theological professor," writes Sean Lucas. As this biography explains, "Dabney was far more complex than either historians or admirers concede." He was "in many ways a representative man, one who embodied the passions and contradictions of nineteenth-century Southerners." As such he "provides a window into the postbellum Southern Presbyterian mind" and a reminder of how important nineteenth-century theology is for contemporary issues and debates. -- Jacket flap.
