About the Editor:

SCHAFF, PHILIP (1819–1893)
Swiss–American church historian and ecumenical pioneer

Born in Chur, Switzerland, Schaff was educated in the Universities of Tübingen, Halle, and Berlin, where in 1842 he was appointed privatdozent. Called to Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, to teach church history and biblical literature, he was ordained as a minister of the Reformed Church in April 1844 and in July of that year arrived in the United States. For nineteen years he taught at Mercersburg Academy, where, along with J. W. Nevin, he helped to develop the Mercersburg Theology, with its emphasis on the church and the sacraments. In 1863 he moved to New York City, where he became secretary of the New York Sabbath Committee, an organization opposed to the secularization of Sunday. In 1870 he joined the faculty of Union Theological Seminary in New York City, where he served until his death. His ecumenical interests were shown in his strong support of the Evangelical Alliance, of which he was the American secretary, and of the Alliance of Reformed Churches.

Schaff was a prolific author. His best–known work is his History of the Christian Church (seven volumes, 1882–1892). He also edited the Schaff–Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge (three volumes, 1882–1884), and the set of patristic translations known as The Nicene and Post–Nicene Fathers (1886–1900); and he compiled a valuable collection of confessional documents in his Creeds of Christendom (three volumes, 1877). Schaff was also active in the preparation of the Revised Version of the Bible, which was published in 1881 (New Testament) and 1885 (Old Testament).
