Among the nearly 2,000 authors found at Log College Press there are at least three centenarians (Arthur Judson Brown [1856-1963, 106]; William Rankin III [1810-1912, 102]; and George Summey [1853-1954, 101]), as well as at least three authors who were 99 years old when they entered into their eternal rest (Littleton Purnell Bowen, David Caldwell, and Maria Fearing). But the Log College Press Century Club which we are introducing today has to do with something a little different.
To be a member of this club, there must be at least 100 works by (and sometimes about) the author on their particular pages. At this point in time, there are 27 such individuals in the LCP Century Club, as follows:
Charles Hodge - 203
Thomas DeWitt Talmage - 201
Theodore Ledyard Cuyler - 201
William Buell Sprague - 192
Archibald Alexander - 186
James Waddel Alexander - 183
Philip Schaff - 179
Samuel Miller - 170
Geerhardus Vos - 169
John Holt Rice - 158
James McCosh - 136
John Gresham Machen - 136
Robert Lewis Dabney - 135
Joseph Addison Alexander - 124
Julia McNair Wright - 114
James Russell Miller - 112
William Swan Plumer - 110
Robert Dick Wilson - 107
Robert Elliott Speer - 105
Lyman Hotchkiss Atwater - 104
Ebenezer Pemberton - 102
Albert Barnes - 101
There are some other prolific writers who we anticipate may join this club at some point in the future, such as Isabella Macdonald Alden, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Finley Milligan Foster, Robert Jefferson Breckinridge and Cleland Boyd McAfee, to name a few. As the Lord gives us strength and ability, we continue to add works by these and many other writers. We still have our work cut out for us, especially, for example, with respect to T.L. Cuyler, who penned over 4,000 separate published articles. Meanwhile, if viewed as a snapshot of our most prolific authors, the LCP Century Club invites readers to explore a representative cross-section of early American Presbyterianism. We hope you will take this opportunity to see what’s available among these prolific writers’ pages (as well as those not-so-prolific), and to enjoy a visit to the past, which we trust will be a blessing to you in the present.
