Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Times of Rev. S. S Schmucker, D. D: First Professor of Theology in the Lutheran Theological Seminary, at Gettysburg, Pa "Who will be his biographer? To recount his life will be to give the history of the Lutheran Church in America!" With this exclamation Dr. J. G. Morris concluded his address at the funeral of Dr. S. S. Schmucker. Little did the speaker think, that the writer of these lines would be that biographer; nor had the writer the remotest idea at that time of having that task conferred upon himself. I will not presume to say that I have given a complete history of the General Synod in my book. An unbiased history of the General Synod has not yet been written. But a brilliant light will be thrown upon the subject by the Life and Times of Dr. S. S. Schmucker. This work was not of ray own seeking; I had no thought of undertaking it, until it was urged upon me by some of the prominent friends and admirers of Dr. Schmucker. The immediate occasion which called forth the desire for the publication of this biography was an address, delivered at the laying of the corner stone of the new building for the Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, in which some derogatory remarks were uttered on the doctrinal teachings of Dr. Schmucker, while professor in the Seminary. I published an article in the Lutheran Observer in his defense, and subsequently republished a highly eulogistic sketch of Dr. Schmucker, written by Dr. Morris sixteen years ago. After this I received from esteemed friends in different parts of the church, urgent requests to write and publish the Life and Times of Dr. Schmucker. After consulting with the surviving relatives and members of the family, I resolved, by the help of God, to begin the work. The following are some of the encouraging words I received through the mails: Dr. Samuel Sprecher, a brother-in-law and intimate personal friend of Dr. Schmucker, writes as follows: "San Diego, California, Dec. 6, 1894. "I am very glad that you have undertaken to publish a biography of Dr. Schmucker. If I could help you to any facts in his life, not publicly known, I would gladly comply with your request.
