- Abstract
- This thesis seeks to research the exceptionally productive fifty-year ministerial service of Rev. Dr. Nehemiah Boynton to his Lord, within and far beyond the limiting bounds of the Congregational churches which he so faithfully and creatively served between the year of his graduation from Andover Theological School in 1882 until the time of his death in 1933. Dr. Boynton served parishes in Littleton, Haverhill and Boston, MA, before moving on to his larger and more lengthy pastorates in Detroit, MI, and Brooklyn, NY. Whether in the pulpit or as a much-in-demand public speaker, he held the attention of his listeners riveted as he addressed them in any of the following intellectual venues: acclaimed preacher, social commentator, champion for civil rights, advocate of ethical business practice based on Christian beliefs, humorist with a message for all, public figure who consulted on contemporary issues, dynamic spiritual leader, international ambassador of goodwill, administrative leader of large organizations, ardent patriot in time of war--and peace. He also had a special concern for the training of young ministers before whom he spoke at Yale Divinity School and Oberlin Theological Seminary, from whose latter lectures was published his well-known and helpful little volume entitled Real preaching. The research draws primarily from personal detailed 'logs' he wrote on his several travels abroad, as well as from a wealth of his other private writings, plus countless newspaper articles of that period written about him and his many marked accomplishments. The effort has been to resurrect an exceptionally useful resource for any modern-day pastor seeking a worthy pastoral and prophetic exemplar from whom both to learn--and take heart. From Dr. Boynton's role as a devoted husband and father of a large family of seven children to his conscientious concern for the establishment of a world at peace, he was the epitome of a loyal Christian disciple 'whose faith-filled witness to his personal God was the natural extended expression of his conscientious efforts to walk in the footsteps of his Master', whose stern challenge to Peter in days of old he made his own: 'Love me? Feed my sheep!'
