Journal of European Travels
Overview
For three years Charles Hodge traveled abroad to continue his theological studies. He studied under some of the leading German theologians of the day and traveled through Paris, Halle, Berlin, Dresden, and more. During his travels, Hodge kept a journal where he recorded his thoughts about the journey and his studies—portions of which have survived. These hand-written papers have been digitally transcribed by Logos Bible Software, giving unprecedented access to twelve months of Hodge’s journals from 1827–1828.

Charles Hodge (1797–1898), an American Presbyterian theologian, was ordained in 1821, and taught at Princeton for almost his whole life. In 1825 he founded the Biblical Repository and Princeton Review, and during 40 years was its editor, and the principal contributor to its pages. He received the degree of D.D. from Rutgers College in 1834, and that of LL.D. from Washington College, Pennsylvania, in 1864. In 1840 Dr. Hodge was transferred to the chair of didactic theology, retaining still, however, the department of New Testament exegesis, the duties of which he continued to discharge until his death.
