(Excerpt from Heroes and Judges, Vol. 5: From the Lawgiver...)
Excerpt from Heroes and Judges, Vol. 5: From the Lawgiver to the King, International Sunday-School Commentary, January to July, 1875 The harmony OF the four. Evangelists should receive special attention, since the Gospel of Mark is eminently suited as a basis of Gospel harmony and as an introduction to the regular and systematic study of the New Testament. There is a certain simplicity and naturalness about its structure, a regularity. Without seeming effort in its narrative, a vividness and detail in its descriptions, and where ever it narrates the same events as other Gospels, a gratifying fullness in giving the deeds of Christ. The study of Gospel harmony would lose a great portion of its interest if the Gospel of Mark were blotted out, of existence. Frequent reference has therefore been made to the English Harmony of the Four Gospels by the author. A little additional effort and study may be necessary, but no one who undertakes the task will regret it, in view of the pleasure and profit obtained therefrom.

It is now nearly forty years since Hugh Miller sent forth to the Christian world the following words: The clergy, as a class, suffer themselves to linger far in the rear of an intelligent and accomplished laity, a full age behind the requirements of the time. Let them not shut their eyes to the danger which is obviously coming. The battle of theE vidences will have as certainly to be fought on the field of physical science as it was contested in the last age on that of the metaphysics. And on this new arena the combatants will have to employ new weapons, which it will be the privilege of the challenger to choose. The old, opposed to these.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

clergyman educator professor author
Johnson was born on November 2, 1836, in Frankfort, Ohio, the son of Rev. Hezekiah Johnson, of a Maryland family, and Eliza Shepherd (Harris) Johnson. His parents, Baptist missionaries on the frontier, were instrumental in founding Denison University at Granville. In 1845, prompted by Marcus Whitman and Ezra Fisher, they removed to Oregon City, Oregon, where they established the first Baptist church on the Pacific Coast and helped found Oregon City (now McMinnville) College.
At the age of twenty-one Johnson attended Colgate Theological Seminary, graduating in 1861. In 1869, he took a doctorate in divinity at the University of Jena.
While living with his parents, Johnson peddled milk, taught school at The Dalles, and assisted in the printing office of the Argus. At the age of twenty-one he went east to Colgate Theological Seminary and while there he was delegated by the Republicans of Oregon, at the instance of his older brother, to represent them in the Chicago convention of 1860, where, after casting a first instructed ballot for W. H. Seward, he voted for Abraham Lincoln. Ordained in 1862, he served as a missionary in Bay City, Michigan, 1861-1863; then as pastor at Lambertville, New Jersey, 1864-1866, and at the First Baptist Church, Passaic, New Jersey, 1866-1872. After a short pastorate at the Clinton Avenue Baptist Church, Newark, New Jersey, 1872-1874, he went to the Old Cambridge (Massachusetts) Baptist Church.
This period of his life, 1874-1888, was exceedingly fertile in friendships (with Phillips Brooks, H. W. Longfellow, J. R. Lowell, William James, and others) and in authorship. With Dr. George Lorimer he served as co-editor of the Watchman from 1876 to 1880, contributing many editorials. He published three studies for Bible students in the International Sunday School Commentary: The Gospel According to St. Matthew (1873), Moses and Israel (1874), Heroes and Judges from the Law-givers to the Kings (1875), in which he adopted with caution the conclusions of his German critical teachers. An excellent English translation of Dies Irae appeared in 1880, to be followed in 1886 by The Stabat Mater Speciosa and the Stabat Mater Dolorosa. His contributions to symposia and encyclopedias were numerous and of solid merit. He contributed articles and book reviews to periodicals, notably to the Journal of Theology.
In 1888 he resigned his pulpit in Cambridge and traveled in Europe, spending the winter in Athens. The next year he was called to the presidency of Ottawa University, Kansas, which he left in 1892 to join the faculty of the University of Chicago as assistant professor of church history and homiletics. He became associate professor in 1894, professor in 1895, and professor emeritus in 1908. His chief theological work was produced in 1896: The Quotations of the New Testament from the Old Considered in the Light of General Literature; while his considerable pulpit and literary activity is evinced by such works as The Home Missionaries (1899); Have We the Likeness of Christ? (1901); The Christian's Relation to Evolution (1904).
After his retirement from the University, he visited Japan, China, India, and Palestine in his interest in missions, and thereafter made his home in Brookline, Massachusetts, where he died on October 9, 1916.

(Who's Who in America (2-Volume Set))
Johnson's scholarship was full and exact. In theological matters he was a liberal conservative, and though intellectually scrupulous and candid, he departed little from the beliefs in which he was reared.

He was an American Episcopal clergyman and author, long the Rector of Boston's Trinity Church and briefly Bishop of Massachusetts, and particularly remembered as lyricist of the Christmas hymn, "O Little Town of Bethlehem."
He was an American poet and educator whose works include "Paul Revere's Ride", The Song of Hiawatha, and Evangeline.
He was an American philosopher and psychologist, and the first educator to offer a psychology course in the United States.
