  • New Books in Christian Studies - Paul Helseth and David P. Smith eds., "New Perspectives on Old Princeton, 1812-1929" (Routledge, 2024)

    New Perspectives on Old Princeton, 1812-1929 (Routledge, 2024) focuses on Princeton

    Theological Seminary and the theologians who taught there from the time
    of its founding in 1812 to the time of its reorganization in 1929. It
    confronts the standard assessment of Old Princeton in the historiography
    of North American evangelicalism and sets out why a new paradigm is
    needed. The volume critically engages with the 'Ahlstrom thesis' and
    other more recent scholarship concerning Old Princeton's relationship to
    the Scottish intellectual tradition. The contributions seek to move
    beyond Old Princeton's alleged indebtedness to Enlightenment thought and
    advance a more constructive reading of the Old Princetonians, their
    theology, and their place in the American evangelical experience. The
    book offers a fresh and more accurate assessment of the theological and
    philosophical assumptions that held sway at Old Princeton and through
    the seminary to the American continent and beyond. It will appeal to
    scholars interested in theology, religious history and intellectual
    history.

    Paul K. Helseth (PhD, Marquette University) is associate professor of

    Christian thought at Northwestern College in St. Paul, Minnesota, and
    the author of Right Reason and the Princeton Mind (2010).

    David Smith (PhD, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) is pastor in

    the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church and adjunct faculty in
    historical theology at Erksine Theological Seminary. He received his
    M.Div. from Covenant Seminary (1995) and completed his dissertation,
    published as B. B. Warfield’s Scientifically Constructive Theological Scholarship in 2010, under John Woodbridge.

  • Read-Aloud Revival ® - RAR #283: Our Favorite Reads for Forming Virtue in Our Kids

    Attend the Circle with Sarah Online Retreat on August 7-8, and Sarah will help you become the peace-filled, joyful mom you’re called to be.


    Here at the Read-Aloud Revival, we’ve been asked more times than I can count to create virtue-based book lists. And I always say no.

    Today, our Creative Director (and my eldest daughter) Audrey is back with me to talk about why we don’t make lists of books that specifically set out to teach kids about kindness, honesty, or other virtues. 

    The reality is, all good books have a powerful capacity to inspire us towards virtue, and the ones that are the most effective are the ones that don’t set out to teach. They just set out to tell a good story. Good stories, by their nature, form us in virtue.

    We’re going to talk about what makes a story formational, and of course, share some of our favorite books that have been formative in our family.

    In this episode, you’ll hear: 

    • Why learning virtue doesn’t need a lesson plan or bullet points, and can even be delightful
    • How stories invite us into the experiences of others, with all their human strengths and weaknesses
    • The guiding question behind every book recommendation we make at RAR
