Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GRA-GUI
GREEN, WILLIAM HENRY (.18251900) , American Hebrew scholar, was born in Groveville, near Bordentown, New
Jersey
 , on the 27th of January 1825. He was descended in the
sixth
  generation from Jonathan Dickinson, first president of the College of New
Jersey
  (now Princeton University), and his ancestors had been closely connected with the Presbyterian church. He graduated in 184o from Lafayette College, where he was tutor in mathematics (184o1842) and .adjunct professor (18431844). In 1846 he graduated from Princeton Theological
Seminary
 , and was instructor in Hebrew there in 18461849. He was ordained in 1848 and was pastor of the Central Presbyterian church of Philadelphia in 18491851. From August 1851 until his death, in Princeton, New Jersey, on the loth of February 1900, he was professor of Biblical and Oriental Literature in Princeton Theological
Seminary
 . From 1859 the title of his chair was Oriental and Old Testament Literature. In 1868 he refused the presidency of Princeton College; as senior professor he was long acting head of the Theological Seminary. He was a
great
  Hebrew teacher: his Grammar of the Hebrew Language (1861, revised 1888) was a distinct improvement in method on Gesenius, Roediger, Ewald and Nordheimer. All his knowledge of Semitic languages he used in a " conservative Higher Criticism," which is maintained in the following works: The Pentateuch Vindicated from the Aspersions of Bishop Colenso (1863), Moses and the Prophets (1883), The Hebrew Feasts in their Relation to
Recent
 
Critical
  Hypotheses Concerning the Pentateuch (1885),T he Unity of the Book of
Genesis
  (1895), The Higher Criticism of the Pentateuch (1895), and A General Introduction to the Old Testament, vol. i. Canon (1898), vol. ii. Text (1899). He was the scholarly leader of the orthodox wing of the Presbyterian church in America, and was
moderator
  of the General Assembly of 1891. Green was chair-man of the Old Testament committee of the Anglo-American Bible revision committee.
See the articles by John D. Davis in The Biblical World, new
series
 , vol. xv., pp. 406-413 (Chicago, 1900), and The Presbyterian and Reformed
Review
 , vol. xi. pp. 377-396 (Philadelphia, 1900).
