From what I am able to gather, Promise Theology was first taught by Dr. Willis Judson Beecher (Presbyterian) at Princeton Theological Seminary during the Stone Foundation Lectures between 1902 and 1903. These lectures have been pulished in book form as "The Prophets and the Promise - Being For Substance". Dr. Beecher's biography can be found in this article from Cayuga County, New York, 1904, 'Brief Sketches - Men of Affairs and Professions', third column from the right, fifth paragraph down. His photo may be found in the same publication in 'Photographic Reproductions - Men of Affairs and Professions', far right at the top.
Picking up the Epangelical baton is Dr. Walter Christian Kaiser, Jr. (Evangelical Free Church of America). Dr. Kaiser is currently President of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and the Colman M. Mockler Distinguished Professor of Old Testament. His bio and photo may be found on the GCTS Faculty page.
