At the time of the publication of the Origin of Species, Princeton Theological Seminary, the first and leading seminary of the American Presbyterian Church founded in 1812, was approaching its fiftieth anniversary. As with most theological schools of the Reformed tradition it had a strong doctrinal emphasis. During the first fifty years of the Seminary its first two theological professors, Archibald Alexander and Charles Hodge set the pattern of vigorously defending their version of Calvinism against divergent theologies and against philosophies which seemed to undermine Christian doctrine. These theologians and their successors at Princeton were instrumental in the training of thousands of ministers of the Presbyterian and other churches. Many of them became teachers in colleges and other seminaries. Through their teaching and their writing they came to influence at least indirectly a significant portion of the ministers and laity in the United States.
After the Civil War, the development of various movements which caused pressures without and ferment within the churches and its seminaries, especially in the north, resulted in many changes in theology. Among these developments were the higher criticism of the Bible, the study of comparative religions, philosophies which had their origin in Kant and Hegel, the industrial revolution, and the developments of science, especially the biological theory of evolution. As a result of these challenges most of the seminaries with whose professors those of Princeton had had verbal battle over the years had modified their theologies. Typically, the Princeton professors resisted these pressures, defended their historical position, and vigorously attacked those positions which seemed to threaten it.
Although the theory of evolution and Darwinism claimed to be only a theory of science and not a philosophy and although Charles Hodge and the Princeton school generally were sympathetic with the scientific method, Hodge felt that Darwinism at points merged into a philosophical viewpoint which seemed to undermine Christian theology.
