David Swing: Poet Preacher (1908) is a biography written by Joseph Fort Newton about the life of David Swing, an American Presbyterian minister and theologian who lived in the 19th century. The book provides a comprehensive overview of Swing's life, from his birth in rural Ohio to his rise as a prominent preacher and writer in Chicago. Newton explores Swing's early years, including his education at Miami University and his early ministry in rural Ohio. The book then delves into Swing's move to Chicago, where he became the pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian Church and began to gain national recognition for his sermons and writings. Throughout the book, Newton highlights Swing's unique approach to preaching, which blended poetry, philosophy, and theology. He also explores Swing's controversial views on topics such as evolution, biblical interpretation, and social justice, which often put him at odds with the conservative Presbyterian establishment. David Swing: Poet Preacher (1908) offers a fascinating look at the life and work of one of America's most influential preachers, and sheds light on the religious and cultural landscape of the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
