Edwards Amasa Park (1808-1900), Congregational minister, professor of mental and moral philosophy at Amherst College (1856-36); professor of sacred rhetoric at Andover Seminary (1836-1847); professor of systematic theology at Andover (1847-1881). Parks was the great exponent of what became known as New England Theology. His sermon The Theology of the Intellect and that of the Feelings led to the great theological/metaphysical controversy with Charles Hodge of Princeton.
"An ardent admirer of Jonathan Edwards, whose great-grand-daughter he married, Park was one of the most notable American theologians and orators. He was the most prominent leader of the 'new school' of 'New England Theology.'" - Encyclopedia Britannica (1911).
