STUART, MOSES (1780-1852)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 1048 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
STUART, MOSES (1780-1852) , American biblical scholar, was born in Wilton, Connecticut, on the 26th of March 1780. He was reared on a farm; graduated with highest honours at Yale in 1799; in 1802 was admitted to the Connecticut bar, and was appointed a tutor at Yale, where he remained for two years; and in 18o6 became pastor of the Centre (Congregational) Church of New Haven. In x8ro he was appointedprofessor of sacred literature in the Andover Theological Seminary, organized in 18o8. Here he succeeded Eliphalet Pearson (1752-1826), the first preceptor of the Phillips (Andover)
Academy
  and in 1786-1806 professor of Hebrew and Oriental languages at Harvard. Stuart himself then knew hardly more than the elements of Hebrew and not very much more Greek than Hebrew; in 1810-1812 he prepared for the use of his students a Hebrew grammar which they copied day by day from his manuscript; in 1813 he printed his Grammar, which appeared in an enlarged form, " with a copious syntax and praxis," in 1821, and was republished in England by Dr Pusey in 1831. He gradually made the acquaintance of German works in hermeneutics, first Schleusner, Seiler and Gesenius, and taught himself German, arousing much suspicion and distrust among his colleagues by his unusual studies. But his recognition soon came, partly as a result of his
Letter
  to Dr Charming on the Subject of Religious Liberty (1830), but more largely through the growing favour shown to German philology and
critical
  methods. In 1848 he resigned his chair at Andover. He died in Andover on the 4th of January 1852. He has been called the "father of exegetical studies in America." He contributed largely by his teaching to the renewal of foreign missionary zealof his 1500 students more than Too became foreign missionaries, among them such skilled translators as Adoniram Judson, Elias Riggs and William G. Schauffler.
Among his more important publications were: Winer's Greek Grammar of the New Testament (1825), with Edward Robinson; Commentary on the Epistle to the Hebrews (18271828); Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans (1832) ; Commentary on the
Apocalypse
  (1845); Miscellanies (1846); Gesenius's Hebrew Grammar (1846) a version which involved Stuart in a long controversy with T. J Conant, the earlier, and possibly more scholarly, translator of Gesenius; Commentary on Ecclesiastes (1851), and Commentary on the Book of
Proverbs
  (1852).
See the memorial sermons by Edwards A. Park (Boston, 1852) and William Adams (New
York
 , 1852).
