This book is an able attempt to check the influence of The Higher Christian Life, by the Rev. William E. Boardman, a book published in the 1850's. Our author calls the earlier work, "an efficient Propaganda," and the Higher Life Movement a "delusion."
Henry Augustus Boardman, D.D. (1808-1880), Presbyterian minister, born at Troy, New York. Dr. Boardman was the valedictorian of his Yale class in 1829, and he graduated at Princeton Seminary in 1833. His only pastorate was one of forty-six years at the Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia. He contributed several valuable books to the reading public.
“Dr. Boardman was evangelical and elevated in his thoughts, and pure, simple, and direct in his style. His published works have been useful to the Church and honorable to his scholarship.” – M’Clintock & Strong.
