Henry Bascom Ridgaway
Edit ProfileEducation
He graduated from high school in 1846, and from Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in 1849.
Career
In 1850 at the age of twenty, he was admitted on trial to the Baltimore Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church; he was ordained deacon in 1853 and elder in 1855, and for the next five years served various churches in Maryland.
After a year at the Chestnut Street Church in Portland, Maine, he was assigned successively to a number of churches in New York City and on the Hudson, and from 1876 to 1881 was stationed in Cincinnati.
In 1882 he accepted election to the chair of historical theology in Garrett Biblical Institute, Evanston, Illinois; two years later, when Dr. W. X. Ninde, professor of practical theology and president of the Institute, was elected bishop, Ridgaway was transferred to the chair of practical theology, and in the following year was elected president of the school; he continued in both positions until his death.
In 1870 he visited the English Wesleyan Conference; he was a delegate to the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1872 and again in 1892, represented his own church as fraternal delegate to the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South in 1882, and was in attendance on the Centennial Conference held in Baltimore in 1884.
The combination of teaching, administration, and outside activities finally proved too much for his physical endurance, and by 1892 the danger of a complete breakdown became apparent. Accompanied by his wife, he sought renewal of health in a trip around the world, but in the summer of 1894 he suffered a general collapse, and in March of the following year he died.
Achievements
-
Two articles contributed by Ridgaway to the Methodist Quarterly Review deserve special mention: "Vicarious Atonement" (October 1871), and "Bishop Simpson" (January 1885). Among his published volumes the largest, an octavo of 744 pages, is The Lord's Land (1876), which gives a narrative of his travels during 1873-74 in Sinai, Arabia Petrea, and Palestine. Other volumes included The Life of the Rev. Alfred Cookman (1873); The Life of Edmond S. James (1882), and Outlines of Theological Encyclopedia (1889). Ridgaway was the recipient of numerous honors.
