Mercersburg theology. Movement in American theology in the 19th cent. Its principal figures were John W. Nevin (1803–86) and Philip Schaff (1819–93), colleagues at the German Reformed seminary in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, from 1844 to 1851. Opposing what Nevin called ‘Puritanic’ in American Protestantism, the movement decried
revivalism, accorded Christian
tradition an importance complementary to that of
scripture, affirmed the
Church as an article of faith, asserted a
Calvinist sacramental view of the
eucharist, and championed
liturgical worship.
