He was a descendant of See also:Hugh Williamson of See also:North Carolina, and was of Scotch See also:blood and Presbyterian training. He graduated at See also:Union See also:College in 1821; studied See also:theology at See also:Princeton Theological See also:Seminary in 1823-1828, being in 1826-1828 in See also:charge of the classes of See also:Charles See also:Hodge; was licensed to preach by the See also:Carlisle See also:Presbytery in 1828; and in 1830-1840 was See also:professor of Biblical literature in the newly founded Western Theological Seminary of See also:Allegheny, Pennsylvania. But under the See also:influence of See also:Neander he was gradually breaking away from " Puritanic See also:Presbyterianism," and in 1840, having resigned his See also:chair in Allegheny, he was appointed professor of theology in the (See also:German Reformed) Theological Seminary at Mercersburg, Pa., and thus passed from the Presbyterian See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

Church into the German Reformed. He soon became prominent; first by his contributions to its See also:organ the Messenger; then by The Anxious See also:Bench—A See also:Tract for the Times (1843), attacking the vicious excesses of revivalistic methods; and by his See also:defence of the inauguration address, The Principle of Protestantism, delivered by his colleague See also:- PHILIP
- PHILIP (Gr.'FiXtrsro , fond of horses, from dn)^eiv, to love, and limos, horse; Lat. Philip pus, whence e.g. M. H. Ger. Philippes, Dutch Filips, and, with dropping of the final s, It. Filippo, Fr. Philippe, Ger. Philipp, Sp. Felipe)

Philip See also:Schaff, which aroused a See also:storm of protest by its See also:suggestion that Pauline Protestantism was not the last word in the development of the church but that a Johannean See also:Christianity was to be its out-growth, and by its recognition of Petrine Romanism as a See also:stage in ecclesiastical development. To Dr Schaff's 122 theses of The Principle of Protestantism Nevin added his own theory of the mystical union between See also:Christ and believers, and both Schaff and Nevin were accused of a " Romanizing tendency." Nevin characterized his critics as pseudo-Protestants, urged (with Dr Charles Hodge, and against the Presbyterian See also:General See also:Assembly) the validity of See also:Roman See also:Catholic See also:baptism, and defended the See also:doctrine of the " spiritual real presence " of Christ in the See also:Lord's Supper, notably in The Mystical Presence: a Vindication of the Reformed or Calvanistic Doctrine of the See also:Holy See also:Eucharist (1846); to this the reply from the point of view of rationalistic See also:puritanism was made by Charles Hodge in the Princeton See also:Review of 1848. In 1849 the Mercersburg Review was founded as the organ of Nevin and the " Mercersburg Theology "; and to it he contributed from 1849 to 1883. In 1851 he resigned from the Mercersburg Seminary in See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order that its See also:running expenses might be lightened; and from 1841 to 1853 he was See also:president of See also:Marshall College at Mercersburg. With Dr Schaff and others he was on the See also:committee which prepared the See also:liturgy of the German Re-formed Church, which appeared in provisional See also:form in 1857 and as An Order of See also:Worship in 1866. In 1861-1866 he was instructor of See also:history at Franklin and Marshall College (in which Marshall College had been merged), of which he was president in 1866-1876. He died at See also:Lancaster, See also:Penn., on the 6th of See also:June 1886.
