The Fall of Princeton Theological Seminary

I.    The Fall of Princeton Theological Seminary

A.    The old adage, “As the seminaries go, so goes the denomination,” fails to apply directly to the situation at Princeton.

B.    It is true that, historically, the seminaries embrace liberal ideas first and then lead the denominational mainstream into modernism. In the case of the Presbyterian Church in the USA, however, New School seminaries progressively drew the denomination into liberalism; then the denomination itself pulled Princeton Seminary down with it.
