 "Not Instruction, but Provocation": Doing Theology at a New Divinity School
Andover Theological Seminary, the first official theological school in the United States, was founded in 1808 primarily because, as they said, "Harvard went Unitarian." Theological studies began much earlier with undergraduates at Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Brown who, once graduated, then "read theology" with a pastor/mentor in a specific congregation.
But Andover was the first of its kind, "the West Point of Orthodoxy," historian Sydney Ahlstrom called it, boasting an "aggressive" faculty, an "enthusiastic" student body and an evangelical influence that spread like wildfire.
From the first, theological seminaries and divinity schools in this country were born of controversy and debate, mirroring the needs and the turmoil of the churches.
