Description: Tyler, Bennet. A Vindication of the Strictures on the Review of Dr. Spring's Dissertation on the Means of Regeneration, in the Christian Spectator for 1829, in reply to the Reviewer and Evangelus Pacificus. Portland: Shirley and Hyde, 1830. First Edition. [10476] Original untrimmed pamphlet with the wrapper, cover title is "Dr. Tyler's Vindication." 9 1/2 x 6 inches, slight edge-wear, 63 pp., foxing. Very good. Pamphlet. This is a defense of the Old School position on regeneration, that it springs not from the heart of man but by an act of God upon the man. Tyler does not think his opponents are heretical, but that their error on this point will lead to heresy. It is a very close, particular argument, typical of the Presbyterian controversialists of the day. Bennet Tyler (1783-1858), Congregational minister from Connecticut. His father was a farmer. Tyler was graduated at Yale in 1804 and became pastor of the Congregational church in South Britain, Connecticut, (1808-1822). From that date until 1828 he was president of Dartmouth college, and was pastor of the 2d Congregational church in Portland, Maine, from 1828 till 1833. The controversy on the "new divinity" awakened by the writings of Reverend Nathaniel W. Taylor, of whom Tyler was the principal opponent, resulted in the formation of a pastoral union in September, 1833, by the Connecticut clergymen, who held to Dr. Taylor's opinions. The group aligned with Bennet Tyler founded a theological seminary in East Windsor [later Hartford Theological Seminary], in which he was president and professor of Christian theology from 1833 until his death. Middlebury gave him the degree of D.D. in 1823. His principal works are "History of the New Haven Theology, in Letters to Clergymen" (Hartford, 1837); "A Review of Day on the Will" (1837) ; "Memoir of Reverend Asahel Nettleton, D.D." (1844) ; "Nettleton's Remains" (1845) ; "A Treatise on the Sufferings of Christ" (New York, 1845) ; " A Treatise on New England Revivals" (1846); and two series of " Letters to Dr. Horace Bushnell on Christian Nurture" (1847-'8). After his death his "Lectures on Theology " were published with a memoir by his son-in-law, the Reverend Nahum Eale, D. D. (Boston, 1859). – from Appleton.
