Joseph Addison Alexander (Bitesize Biographies)

Joseph Addison Alexander of Princeton was born in 1809, just
three years before his father, Archibald Alexander, was
appointed the first Professor of the newly-founded Princeton
Theological Seminary. By 1830 Jospeh Alexander himself was
Adjunct Professor of Ancient Languages and Literature in the
College of New Jersey (now Princeton University). Four years
later he was at the Seminary as assistant to Charles Hodge. By
the time of his early death in 1859 he had served various posts in
the Princeton Seminary and had seen his great commentaries
published. Allan Harman brings this almost forgotten character
back to life with a stirring biography that is a great addition to
this series.
