Dissertation: Dr. Werner’s Ph.D. dissertation analyzed Timothy Dwight’s use of apologetics during his Presidency at Yale.  Only a few students professed faith in Christ when Dwight became the president of Yale in 1795.  He responded to this “infidelity” with a unique form of apologetics.   As a result, nearly every student professed faith Christ.  Moreover, Yale remained predominately Christian for 100 years after the Dwight’s death.  Dr. Werner concluded that Dwight’s apologetic arguments were reasonably sound, and that many of our formerly Christian colleges need modern-day versions of Timothy Dwight.
