Bishops, Bourbons, and Big Mules: A History of the Episcopal Church in Alabama by J. Barry Vaughn (review)

Protestant seminaries were then institutionally in their infancy, with “inadequate textbooks and libraries, students untutored in history, [and] few colleagues . . . with whom to organize a theological curriculum” (p. 1). Seminary professors were also beholden to theological frameworks and assumptions, especially to the idea of a divinely-inspired Bible and a Protestant reading of history in which the writings of the Church Fathers (even St. Augustine) were mostly viewed as problematic. Thus their approach to history was “apologetic, confessional, and moralizing” (p. 343). Still, despite such obstacles, the story is one of subtle adjustment to German ideals. The professors warmed to the notion of ecclesial development through the doctrine of Providence, which safeguarded a Protestant rendering of church history, even while their new familiarity with the Church Fathers immunized them from some of the more reactionary forms of anti-Catholicism.
