Henry Nelson Wieman (1884-1975), a pastor, scholar, and teacher, was an American pragmatic theologian originally trained at San Francisco Theological Seminary. He also studied with philosophers Rudolph Eucken at Jena and Wilhelm Windelband and Ernst Troeltsch at Heidelberg. His teaching career included positions at the University of Chicago Divinity School, the New School in New York City, the University of Oregon, the University of West Virginia, and Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. Among his many publications, The Source of Human Good is one of his best known.
"Wieman's depiction of the four-fold structure of creative energy remains a milestone in modern religious thought. Even readers who doubt the objective reality of the structure Wieman claims to have found in experience will appreciate the powerful alternative his empirical method and naturalist
ontology brought to philosophy of religion. The Source of Human Good still speaks to all those for whom the divine signifies something more than human ideals, values, and aspirations."--Nancy Frankenberry, Dartmouth College
"At mid-century Henry Nelson Wieman not only penned a theological classic, he pointed the way to an end-of-the century reconstruction. His naturalism, pragmatism, revisionism, and respect for mystery are blunt, American, and still evocative. He opened doors through which many of today's religious
thinkers will not only pass, but will pass while in heated debate with Wieman."--William Dean, Gustavus Adolphus College
