 THE CHURCH AS A UNIVERSAL REFORM SOCIETY: THE SOCIAL VISION OF ASA MAHAN   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Mahan thus locates himself in the tradition of Aristotle, who held that basic human associations are rooted in nature, rather than in those traditions which look upon all human associations as conventional and therefore as subject to dissolution.
Mahan's principle is that if a given form of relationship is genuinely natural for human beings, then it is not to be tampered with but must be respected.
Mahan speaks of conformity to the laws of our being "as seen by the eye of God himself"25 This later phrase emphasizes the need to respect human nature as it really is. One is reminded of Thomas Aquinas' view that the truth of things consists in their correspondence to God's ideas of them.

N.Y., Mahan was raised in the strict milieu of Reformed Protestantism.
For15 years Asa Mahan was the driving force in making the name "Oberlin" synonymous with free will Christian doctrine and the defense of human rights.
Mahan was one who embraced both the "rationalistic" and the "mystical,"  the intellectual and the deeply spiritual.

 ASA MAHAN AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF AMERICAN HOLINESS THEOLOGY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Mahan was successively president of Oberlin College, Cleveland University, and Adrian College, and then retired to an active life in Britain as editor and writer.
Mahan notes that at Pentecost "power was one of the most striking characteristics of this baptism"36 and the idea permeates the whole of his second book.
Mahan tries, as have other holiness writers, to emphasize the fruit of the Spirit over the gifts of the Spirit and not "the miraculous, but common influence of the Spirit."37 But in Baptism of the Holy Ghost this concern is necessarily weakened.

Mahan was a collegue of Charles Finney and contributed much to Finney's thinking and vise versa.
Mahan differs himself with Finney in that he teaches that the purpose of the baptism with the Holy Spirit is for power to evangelize or preach the gospel (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8).
Mahan's theology is further tainted by the influence of the pragmatist Charles Finney.

 Science of Moral Philosophy. By Asa Mahan
Asa Mahan must be considered one of the greatest philosophers of all time.

We are not aware of a published response by Mahan to that work besides a few statements in his Logic text of 1855.

The experience of Dr. Mahan, as related towards the end of the work, goes to show that the reception of this grace was to him what the Old Methodists would call the "Second Blessing." He was a Professor in a College, and a successful Minister of the Gospel, and yet but a babe in grace.
However, the time of his deliverance came, and now for about forty years he has lived and preached on a higher plane, and has seen a complete revolution of thought on this subject in the Church with which he is associated....

 Christian Perfection - President Asa Mahan's 1799-1889
Asa Mahan, D.D. was one of the most able champions and examples of that glorious truth the church has seen.
Mahan was an Englishman, well qualified by education and experience to write and teach the "deep things of God." He was contemporary with many of the great souls of the 19th century, Charles G. Finney the great revivalist, Dr. Daniel Steele and many others.
He had pointed many sinners to Christ for justification, and yet often felt as if he would give the world, if he had it, if some one would help him into the enjoyment of that which he dimly saw was in reversion for him.

When some Oberlin students shocked the nation by publicly burning worn copies of their Latin textbooks, Mahan turned it into a joke, saying never before had the classics given off so much light.

 Studies in Perfectionism by Benjamin Warfield - review by Jim Elliff
The study's foci is on such men and movements as Asa Mahan, Charles Grandison Finney, Hannah Whitehall Smith, the Oberlin teaching, the Higher Life teaching, the Fellowship movement, Keswick, and the Victorious Life movement, mostly as they appear in English-speaking countries.
Warfield's initial concern, however, is with the Oberlin College situation and the two men, Asa Mahan and Charles G. Finney, and the development of what is called "Oberlin Theology." His evalution?—"The cold, Pelagian system of the new divinity has been attached to the engine of fanaticism."
And it is of even greater interest for our discussion that Mahan and the Smiths were together in the formation of the Keswick movement which continued this same two-tiered life of the believer.

However wordy the title, the expositions included in the book are excellent and still applicable to the present day “blindness” of the church at large.
