It then goes on to describe his education and early career as a lawyer before he decided to become a Presbyterian minister. Thornwell went on to become a professor of theology at South Carolina College and later at Columbia Theological Seminary, where he became known for his conservative views and staunch defense of the Bible.The second part of the book consists of Thornwell's personal letters, which were written to his friends, family, and colleagues. These letters provide a glimpse into his personal life, his relationships, and his beliefs.
