Address Delivered to the Theological Students of the Princeton Seminary, N.J., at the Close of the Semi-Annual Examination in May, 1835

Ashbel Green (1835) tells Princeton students revealed theology differs from secular science in authority and method and urges submission to Scripture and careful exegesis.

Ashbel Green was an American Presbyterian minister, academic leader, and early church statesman who served as pastor in Philadelphia, chaplain of the U.S. House of Representatives, and the eighth president of Princeton University from 1812 to 1822 while helping found and strengthen Princeton Theological Seminary. His influence extended through denominational leadership, editorial work, and religious education, making him a central figure in early 19th-century American Presbyterianism.
