As the first publication of The Dabney-Thornwell Institute, Forgotten Saints is a tribute to the giants of Southern Presbyterianism. To our misfortune, these saints have been largely forgotten in current Christianity, hence, the title of the publication. The depth of insight, knowledge, and intellectual prowess found in the Southern Presbyterian tradition remains untapped by Christians today. Far too often are the writings of other traditions or sources given to the hands of men today because the theologians of the south find their origins among the ostensibly unredeemable people of Dixie. In the minds of layman Christians, seminary students, and churchmen has American modernity planted an inclination that is opposed to southern giants—like the ones featured in this publication. What a shame this is for the American church, particularly because it’s currently dealing with issues the Southern Presbyterian tradition has written extensively on; feminism, liberalism, the magistrate, public education, and so on. The Dabney-Thornwell Institute envisions a future wherein seminarians, elders, and Christians across the United States are quick to reach for Reverend Dr. Benjamin Morgan Palmer when they seek guidance on preaching. We envision a time when Reverend Dr. James Henley Thornwell is widely read among polemical theologians, and Reverend Dr. Robert Lewis Dabney is counseled on all matters philosophical. In essence, we desire to bring the Southern Presbyterian tradition into the modern fold of Christianity, rid the modern inclination that combats with the tradition in the mind of the American Christian, and make the writings of the tradition widely accessible. We are delighted to bring you, the reader, Forgotten Saints . This production is short in length, designed to be a pleasurable Sabbath reading. Inside, four hand-picked essays await: Thoughts On The Priesthood of Christ by Dr. James Henley Thornwell, The Philosophy Regulating Private Corporations by Dr. Robert Lewis Dabney, Natural Religion And The Gospel by Dr. John Lafayette Girardeau, and finally Feeling After God by Dr. Benjamin Morgan Palmer.
