A 150th Anniversary History
By Rick Nutt

0-8028-3913-4 / 6”x9” hardcover / 272 pages / $38.00 / October

Many Lamps, One Light tells the story of Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary from the founding in 1853 of one of its predecessor institutions until the present. More than just an institutional history, this book opens a window on all of American Protestantism by its examination of this one seminary.

The story of Louisville Seminary is organized around two themes. Rick Nutt first shows the ways in which the school has reflected developments in culture and Christianity in the United States during the last 150 years. The history of the Seminary mirrors the economic, social, political, intellectual, and ecclesiastical forces that have affected Protestantism and its institutions in the nation. Second, Nutt explores how Louisville Seminary has steadfastly retained its educational vision and commitment to serve the church in the midst of unprecedented social change.

This book will be of interest both to those affiliated with Louisville Seminary and to those seeking a valuable case study in American Christian higher education.
