BARNES, ALBERT (17981870)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 412 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BARNES, ALBERT (17981870) , American theologian, was born at Rome, New
York
 , on the 1st of December 1798. He graduated at Hamilton College, Clinton, N.Y., in 182o, and at the Princeton Theological Seminary in 1823, was ordained as a Presbyterian minister by the presbytery of Elizabethtown, New
Jersey
 , in 1825, and was the pastor successively of the Presbyterian Church in Morristown, New
Jersey
  (1825183o) and of the First Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia(183o-1867). He held a prominent place in the New School branch of the Presbyterians, to which he adhered on the division of the de-nomination in 1837; he had been tried (but not convicted) for heresy in 1836, the charge being particularly against the views expressed by him in Notes on Romans (1835) of the imputation of the sin of
Adam
 ,
original
  sin and the atonement; the bitterness stirred up by this trial contributed towards widening the breach between the conservative and the progressive elements in the church. He was an eloquent preacher, but his reputation rests chiefly on his expository works, which are said to have had a larger circulation both in Eutope and America than any others of their class. Of the well-known Notes on the New Testamentit is said that more than a million volumes had been issued by 187o. The Notes on Job, the Psalms, Isaiah and Daniel, found scarcely less acceptance. Displaying no
original
 
critical
  power, their
chief
  merit lies in the fact that they bring in a popular (but not always accurate) form the results of the criticism of others within the reach of general readers. Barnes was the author of several other works of a practical and devotional kind, and a collection of his Theological Works was published in Philadelphia in 1875. He died in Philadelphia on the 24th of December 187o.
