Biographical / Historical
Edwards Amasa Park was an American congregational theologian. He was born on December 29, 1808 in Providence, Rhode Island, the son of Congregational minister Calvin Park. Park attended Brown University (where his father was a professor), graduating in 1826. He entered Andover Theological Seminary after Brown, graduating in 1831. In the early 1830s Park preached throughout Massachusetts, notably with pastor R.S. Storrs of the Congregational Church in Braintree, Massachusetts, from 1831 to 1833. Following his coursework, Park was a professor at Amherst College from 1836 to 1847, serving initially as professor of mental and moral philosophy, then Bartlett Professor of Sacred Rhetoric. Concurrently, Park began teaching at Andover as professor of sacred rhetoric and Christian Theology, positions he held from 1847 to 1881. Due to his popularity in this role, Park was promoted as chair of systematic theology at Andover, a position he occupied until 1881. A rigorous teacher in systematic theology, Park published amply, including, following a European tour and encounter with Professor B.B. Edwards, the Bibliotheca Sacra, over which Park would serve as editor for forty years beginning in 1852. Park retired in 1881, remaining in Andover until his death in 1900.
