...Princeton back on the theological map was Scotland-born John Alexander Mackay (rhymes with high), seminary president from 1936 to 1959. Although conservative, he was open to new trends in the church, brought in as lecturers such famed theologians as Emil Brunner of Zurich. "Mackay brought real excitement to the faculty," says Eugene Carson Blake, the Stated Clerk of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S. Mackay also doubled both the seminary's enrollment and its endowment, started the school's first doctoral program, founded the lively highbrow quarterly, Theology Today...
...gesture would help the West regain the "confidence" of the Soviet Union, and start it on the road toward a peaceful democratic regime. The vast majority of U.S. theologians regard such views as politically naive at best and irresponsible at worst. Says an old friend and theological colleague, Emil Brunner of Zurich: "If President Kennedy were to adopt Barth's pacifist doctrines, the United States would soon be swallowed by the Soviet Union.

So dear to his heart, in fact, that Traver (in real life John Voelker) resigned as a justice of the Michigan Supreme Court to write this book. He should have stayed on the bench...
...with independent causal effect. It is time you became routinized," Herr Weber blusters out. Charisma, whose independent advantages were causing the routine effects all evening, is horrified at the prospect: "I may even become feudal--and based on benefices," she wails. The domineering father, not to be swayed, commissions Emil Durkheim to find his daughter a husband, with the threat that if the attempt is unsuccessful, Weber will have to become an anthropologist...
