Biography / Administrative History
Harland E. Hogue, 1908-1999, was Carl Patton Professor of Homiletics at the Pacific School of Religion, Berkeley, CA, from
1954 to 1975 and served as chair of the doctoral faculty at Graduate Theological Union in the fields of History and Worship,
Preaching and the Arts. A highly respected scholar in American church history, he was also well known as an outstanding preacher.
Hogue received a BS from Monmouth College, a BD from San Francisco Theological Seminary, a PhD from Columbia University and
a DD from Monmouth College. He served as pastor of First United Presbyterian Church in San Diego (1933-37) and First Presbyterian
Church in Pomona (1937-42.He taught for 12 years at Scripps College and Claremont Graduate School (1942-54) before coming
to PSR.
After retiring, Hogue served as interim pastor at Skyline Community Church, was pastor emeritus at Orinda Community Church,
and taught at Patten College in Oakland.
Hogue wrote two volumes on the history of PSR. His successor in the Carl Patton chair, Doug Adams, was a former student
and became a very close friend. Adams interviewed Hogue for the oral history, creating a dynamic interchange between the two.
His oral history interviews discuss his life, career, experiences, people, and general observations there beginning 1954.
The interviews also include his experiences at the San Francisco Theological Seminary where he had earlier been a student,
and the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley, CA, after its incorporation in 1962.
