History Note

Edwin Lewis, American theologian, lecturer, author, and professor, was born on April 18, 1881, in Newbury, England. He was the son of Joseph and Sarah (Newman) Lewis. He married Louise Newhook Frost (deceased 1953) on January 5, 1904. They had three children, Olin, Velva, and Faulkner. He married a second time to Josephine Stults. When Edwin Lewis was nineteen he went to Labrador, Canada, and joined the Newfoundland Conference of the Methodist Church of Canada. He served there from 1900-1903. He transfered to the North Dakota Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, where he served from 1904 to 1905. He was educated at Sackville College, Canada; Middlebury College; United Free Church College, Glasgow and Drew Seminary (B.D., 1908; Th. D., 1918). He transferred to the Troy Conference in 1910 and served North Chatham, 1913-1916; First Church in Rensselaer, New York; and then became an instructor in Greek Theology at the Drew Seminary, 1916-1918. Lewis became adjunct professor of Systematic Theology there in 1918 and in 1920 became a professor, which position he occupied until his retirment in 1951.

Lewis' professional carrer was fille with controversy. In the 1920s he was criticized by the Rev. Harold P. Sloan, conservative pastor and editor of the Christian Advocate, for his liberal teachings. In the early 1930s his theoloigcal outlook changed and he was taken to task again. Lewis authored a number of books, including Jesus Christ and the Human Quest (1924), A Christian Manifesto ( 1934), the Creator and the Adversary (1948) and was senior editor of the popular Abingdon Bible Commentary (1930).

Lewis preached frequently, wrote articles for adult Sunday School literature such as Adult Student, Revival Pulpit, and gave public lectures to groups as diverse as the local Rotary organization to scholarly meetings.

Upon his retirement from Drew Theological Seminary, he taught for a time in Temple University at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, though he continued to maintain a home in Madison, New Jersey. Lewis died in the winter of 1959.


Scope Note

The collection includes: book and article manuscripts, class lecture material, sermons, public lecture materials, correspondence, and biographical information. They primarily rpresent his work at Drew Theological Seminary while there are a few documents relating to his work at Temple University in Philadelphia.

Almost all of this mateial reflects his academic and educational interests. Topics range widely over philosphy, theology, and church history. Included in the manuscript series are texts of various lectures he gave. These include the Fondren Lectures of 1937, the Quillian Lectures at Emory University, 1941, the Norton Lectures at Southern Baptist Seminary in 1947; the Southwestern Lectures of 1952; the Tipple Lectures at Drew Theological School in 1954 (two versions) and the Willson Lectures at McMurry College in 1955.

Like any professor, Lewis often reused his material so that similar topics will appear in his manuscripts, articles, sermons as well as in his public addresses or speeches.

The manuscript material includes his book length manuscripts as well as various papers he wrote. The Topic classification in the Sermon Series reflects sermons which were originally grouped together. It is not clear if Lewis did that arrangement or if done by some other person. Topics covered in the papers are: theology, philosophy, adult teachers, religion, and faith.
