520    "Augustus Hopkins Strong was the president of Rochester 
       Theological Seminary for 40 years (1872-1912). Although 
       Strong regarded himself as a theological conservative, he 
       oversaw the transition from orthodoxy to a much more 
       modern view of theology at Rochester. Over the course of 
       his academic career, Strong's theology evolved as he 
       sought to facilitate an ideological rapprochement between 
       Christian orthodoxy and modern thought. This book traces 
       the evolution of Strong's theology, particularly its 
       movement in the direction of philosophical idealism and 
       arguably pantheism. This book argues that Strong's 
       theological journey and embrace of ethical monism was his 
       attempt to bring together theological conservatives and 
       modernists while trying to resolve tensions within his own
       thinking. In the end, Strong was unable to persuade 
       modernists to embrace ethical monism or to convince 
       conservatives that ethical monism was a legitimate 
       theological option. Strong's attempt at a theological 
       synthesis failed due largely to the contradictions which 
       ethical monism produced within both Christian theology and
       philosophical monism. But Strong's journey had a 
       significant impact on the direction of Rochester 
       Theological Seminary"--|cProvided by publisher.
