Sometimes called “the spoiler of liberalism” B. B. Warfield was one of the greatest theologians America has ever produced. The foundation of his theology, of course, was rooted in the thought of the Reformation, and especially the transformative theology of John Calvin. His work both articulated the ideas of traditional Reformed theology and challenged the emerging heresies of his day.
In this volume of re:SOURCE DIGITAL’s bestselling “Journal Writing” series, B.B. Warfield probes foundational questions about the nature of systematic theology, the biblical basis for the doctrine of Scriptural inspiration, and timeless questions about the philosophy of religion.

Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield was professor of theology at Princeton Seminary from 1887 to 1921. Some conservative Presbyterians consider him to be the last of the great Princeton theologians before the split in 1929 that formed Westminster Seminary and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.
During his tenure, his primary thrust (and that of the seminary) was an authoritative view of the Bible. This view was held in contrast to the emotionalism of the revival movements, the rationalism of higher criticism, and the heterodox teachings of various New religious movements that were emerging. The seminary held fast to the Reformed confessional tradition -- that is, it faithfully followed the Westminster Confession of Faith.
Warfield was a thoroughgoing evidentialist and the most prominent exponent of the Old Princeton school.
