Macartney, Clarence Edward, 1879-1957

 
Macartney was born in Ohio and received a degree in English literature from the University of Wisconsin—Madison in 1901; other schools he attended included the University of Denver; Yale Divinity School; and Princeton Theological Seminary. He was ordained in 1905; his first two pastorates were at the First Presbyterian Church of Paterson, New Jersey (1905-14) and Arch Street Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia (1914-1927). From there, he moved to Appalachia, serving at the First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh from 1927 to 1953.

Additional information can be found on Macartney’s Wikipedia page and in The Making of a Minister: The Autobiography of Clarence E. Macartney (Great Neck, NY: Channel Press, 1961).

  • Bible Epitaphs by Clarence Edward Macartney

    Bible Epitaphs

    Clarence Edward Macartney

    In the Foreword, Macartney writes that “Bible biography…affords an impressive, and somewhat unique, mode of preaching. I have taken up just a few of the striking epitaphs of the Bible. The door is wide open for other preachers who care to enter this chamber of instruction and inspiration” (p. 5).

  • Chariots of Fire: And Other Sermons on Bible Characters by Clarence Edward Macartney

    Chariots of Fire: And Other Sermons on Bible Characters

    Clarence Edward Macartney

    In the Foreword, Macartney writes, “It has been my experience that…many of the lesser-known personalities of the Bible draw the preacher’s bow for him with greater power and more striking illustration than the more familiar and more celebrated personalities.” The 18 sermons in this collection thus focus on Hagar, Herod Antipas, Elisha’s servant, and other “men and women who, while not the pre-eminent characters of the Bible…are full of interest” (p. 7).

  • Great Women of the Bible by Clarence Edward Macartney

    Great Women of the Bible

    Clarence Edward Macartney

    This book is a kind of sequel to Sermons on Old Testament Heroes (1935) and The Greatest Men of the Bible (1941). In the Foreword, Macartney notes that he asked his congregation to vote on the women who should be included. “Ruth stood first in the list, and Eve last”; he also “added several women who did not receive a place in the first ten” (p. 5).

  • Sermons on Old Testament Heroes by Clarence Edward Macartney

    Sermons on Old Testament Heroes

    Clarence Edward Macartney

    In the Foreword, Macartney writes that sermons in this collection “were preached at morning and evening services in the First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh, and are recorded here in the general form in which they were preached” (p. 6). Not all of his subjects, he writes, “are heroes, in the popular sense of the word; but all are conspicuous personalities, and all proclaim and illustrate timeless lessons of morality and life” (p. 5).
