You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.214.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 January 2025. Your current IP address is 44.214.4.121.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Augustus Hopkins Strong''' (3 August 1836 – 29 November 1921) was a [[Baptist]] minister and theologian who lived in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His most influential book, ''Systematic Theology'', proved to be a mainstay of Baptist theological education.<ref name="HDB"/>

After Strong graduated from [[Yale College]] in 1857, he took a year to travel Europe, before he began his theological studies at [[Rochester Theological Seminary|RTS]].<ref name="Wacker">((cite book |last1=Wacker |first1=Grant |title=Augustus H.

==Career==
In August 1861, Strong was named pastor of First Baptist Church, [[Haverhill, Massachusetts]]. After his four-year pastorate there, became pastor of First Baptist Church, [[Cleveland, Ohio]], from 1865 to 1872, and thereafter became president of [[Rochester Theological Seminary|RTS]].<ref name= NYTbriefObit>((Citation | publication-date = 1921-12-06 | author = The NYT Staff | date = December 6, 1921 | title = Dr. Augustus H.

It was during his time as president that he wrote his ''Systematic Theology'', which was the main textbook of Protestant seminaries in North America. He received honorary doctorates from the Universities of [[University of Rochester|Rochester]], [[Alfred University|Alfred]], [[Brown University|Brown]], [[Bucknell University|Bucknell]], [[Princeton University|Princeton]], and [[Yale University|Yale]].((r|Wacker|p=6))

==Personal life==
Strong was married, and his eldest son was the American psychologist and philosopher [[Charles A. Strong]].

He died on Tuesday, November 29, 1921 in [[Pasadena, California]], after which his body was returned to Rochester, where he was laid to rest in the week following, at Mount Hope Cemetery on December 5, in his family's vault, after laying in state in Alvah Strong Hall at the Seminary. Among others, Strong was eulogized by Rush Rhees, then president of the University of Rochester, and by Clarence A. Barbour, a succeeding president of the Seminary.<ref name= NYTbriefObit/>

==Theology==

Strong held a form of [[inclusivism]], that is, he believed that some people from non-Christian religions actually believe in the one true God, the God revealed in the Bible. Thus, it was Strong's view that their faith in God—to the limits of their knowledge and their rejection of the religion around them—constituted "an implicit faith in Christ."<ref>((cite book | last=Strong | first=Anthony H. | date=1907 | orig-year=1886 | title=Systematic Theology | location=Old Tappan, NJ | publisher=Revell | pages=842–843 | oclc=878559610 ))</ref>((OR|date=November 2021))
