William Park Armstrong (1874–1944) was a theologian who is best known for his work at Princeton Theological Seminary.
Biography
William Park Armstrong was born in Selma, Alabama and studied at Princeton University, earning his bachelor's degree at the age of 20.[1] He would later earn his M.A. from Princeton and a B.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary before studying in Europe. He studied at the German Universities of Marburg, Berlin, and Erlangen, before finally finishing his studies back at Princeton Theological Seminary. In 1900 he was ordained into the Presbyterian Church (USA). During this time he also taught New Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary, until his death in 1944. During his tenure at Princeton, he wrote numerous scholarly articles and pamphlets.[2][3]
Re-Organization of Princeton Theological Seminary
During the 1920's, the northern Presbyterian church (PCUSA) was criticized by some for tolerating increasingly modernist theology. John Gresham Machen, a fellow professor at Princeton, responded by forming the Orthodox Presbyterian Church as a more orthodox alternative. In response, the PCUSA threatened to reorganize the school. Dr. Armstrong was a friend and ally of Dr. Machen, and supported him until Machen's departure to help found the Westminster Theological Seminary.[4]
