A comprehensive treatment of Christian theology as taught by a southern Presbyterian professor at Louisville.
Robert Alexander Webb (1856-1919), b. Oxford, Mississippi; d. Louisville, Kentucky. His family moved to the Nashville area when he was a boy, and he attended Southwestern Presbyterian University at Clarksville, TN, graduating with highest honors in 1887. After studying under John Girardeau at Columbia Seminary he became pastor of the Bethel Church, in York Co., South Carolina. Webb published several very useful theological works as well as being an effective Presbyterian minister.
“He had a keenly analytic mind, and with this power of analysis was united an equal power of logic which marched with unbroken step from premise to conclusion. Added to these was an unusual capacity for profound, clear and patient thinking which explored every recess of the subject, and an ability to set forth the results of study and thought in a style simple, clear, pungent and often flashing out in all the colors of rhetoric. These intellectual qualities were transfused with an ardent love of truth, and absolute submission to the teaching of the Holy Scripture, and an adoring devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ.” - from the biographical introduction.
