The Works of Benjamin Warfield include most the great theologian's works gathered together by theme. Warfield provided in his will for the collection and publication of his numerous articles on theological subjects contained in encyclopedias, reviews and other periodicals, and appointed a committee to edit and publish these papers after his death. The Works of Benjamin Warfield include his works on biblical doctrine, revelation and inspiration, Christology, Tertullian and Augustine, Calvinism, The Westminster Assembly, Christian perfectionism, theology and critical reviews.
Warfield was known for his Calvinistic scholarship, logic and spiritual insight, all timeless themes that can still be studied today. This set is perfect for serious students of Calvinism, history of the Early church, Presbyterianism or anyone interested in Reformed theology.
Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield was born in 1851 in Lexington, Kentucky. He studied mathematics and science at Princeton University and graduated in 1871. In 1873, he decided to enroll at Princeton Theological Seminary, where he was taught by Charles Hodge. He graduated from seminary in 1876, and was married shortly thereafter. He traveled to Germany later that year to study under Franz Delitzsch.
After returning to America, Warfield taught at Western Theological Seminary (now Pittsburgh Theological Seminary). In 1881, Warfield co-wrote an article with A. A. Hodge on the inspiration of Scripture—a subject which dominated his scholarly pursuits throughout the remainder of his lifetime. When A. A. Hodge died in 1887, Warfield became professor of Theology at Princeton, where he taught from 1887–1921. History remembers Warfield as one of the last great Princeton Theologians prior to the seminary’s re-organization and the split in the Presbyterian Church.
B. B. Warfield died in 1921.
