Log College Press Dead Presbyterians still speak. Log College Press is named for the first American Presbyterian "seminary," the Log College.

This ministerial training school was started around 1726 in Pennsylvania by William Tennent and was an indirect forerunner of Princeton Seminary, the first official seminary of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, along with many other academic institutions in our country. Log College Press aims to collect and reprint the writings of and about American Presbyterians from the 18

th and 19th centuries. We are motivated by the conviction that as Christians in the present take root backward toward the past, we will bear fruit forward in the future for the glory of God and the kingdom of Jesus.

From private prayer to public preaching, pastoral ministry is a sacred calling—and Thomas Murphy gets it.

Rooted in 25 years of experience and the wisdom of Princeton’s Archibald Alexander, Pastoral Theology offers timeless, practical counsel for today’s shepherds.

Now freshly typeset and newly indexed by Log College Press, this 19th-century classic is ready to serve a new generation of ministers.

"The emotion which we should naturally expect to find most frequently attributed to that Jesus whose whole life was a mission of mercy, and whose ministry was so marked by deeds of beneficence that it was summed up in the memory of his followers as a going through the land doing good (Acts xi. 38), is no doubt 'compassion.' In point of fact, this is the emotion which is most frequently attributed to him."

B.B. Warfield, "The Emotional Life of Our Lord"

“As all other believers do, the pastor should strive to be filled with the Holy Ghost, but in view of his holy office he should strive far more earnestly. The one thought should be ever before him: ‘This is no ordinary profession that I hold; it is something more sacred, more heavenly, more Christlike than the common callings of men, and therefore I must be more holy.’” — Thomas Murphy

“I love this book and am thrilled to see it being reprinted after languishing in obscurity for more than a century. As the pastor of Frankford Presbyterian Church (one of the oldest Presbyterian churches in Philadelphia) for forty-six years, Thomas Murphy was a leading churchman in the nineteenth century. Murphy’s book is to pastoral theology what Martyn Lloyd-Jones’ famous lectures are for preaching: inspiring, challenging, comprehensive, opinionated, practical, and spiritual in the deepest sense of the word. I can’t imagine a current or future pastor who wouldn’t be helped immensely by reading this book. It is one of the best things I’ve ever read on the nuts and bolts — and the privilege and the joy — of pastoral ministry.” — Kevin DeYoung

“The affections of the soul are changed, such as desire, delight, fear, hatred, joy, and love. New-born persons have frequent and vehement desires after communion with, and conformity to, God in Christ here, and the full enjoyment of him hereafter, arising from a sight of his beauty and excellency.”

— Chapter IX “Regeneration Opened” A sermon by the Rev. John Tennent
