Edwards Amasa Park (1808–1900), professor of sacred rhetoric and afterwards of theology at Andover Theological Seminary, was the last great exponent of the New England theology. He edited the Bibliotheca Sacra for many years, and his sermon on the theology of the intellect and that of the feelings, preached in 1850, was the most discussed American discourse of its decade.
