Mercersburg in Monroe
My father-in-law, Gary White, told me tonight about a website he found on Mercersburg theology. He recently picked up a copy of Nichols' Romanticism in American Theology: Nevin and Schaff at Mercersburg, and I greatly enjoyed reading most of his copy over a Sunday afternoon or two and Thanksgiving at Hollie's parents'. Mr Gary's been reading up on Mercersburg in general lately. He picked up a Schaff title (Principles of Protestantism, I think) at the conference this week; hopefully I'll get to read it soon, too. Anyway, based on his description of the website, turns out he was reading the Mercersburg subdomain of Reformed Catholicism, and apparently a bit of Reformed Catholicism itself; he mentioned the "Dispatches from Auburn Avenue" (Parts 1, 2, 3). I haven't been reading blogs much lately, so I haven't read much by Jamey Bennett, but I'm sorry I didn't know he was here - it would've been nice to meet him. Glancing over the Mercersburg site, most of it appears to be authored by another name I haven't read much: Jonathan Bonomo. Looks like these guys are doing some good work.
