"It belongs to the truth of our Lord's humanity," wrote B.B. Warfield, "that he was subject to all sinless human emotions." In this short volume, Warfield focusses on Christ's compassion, anger, and sorrow.Warfield (1851-1921), the last of the great Princeton theologians, was professor of theology at Princeton from 1887 until his death.

This certainly may be fairly called one of the great passages of the Bible. Note the series of great topics which are adverted to in it: the inward strengthening of the children of God by the Holy Spirit, the continual abiding of Christ in their hearts, their rooting and grounding in love, their enlargement in spiritual apprehension, even to the knowledge of the unknowable, their filling with all the fullness of God. Surely here is a catalogue of great things for God's people! These great ...

There are many different forms, arguments, denominations, and doctrines within the Christian faith. Diving into the various theories and histories can be a lengthy and often confusing journey. This collection of sermons concisely discusses many views on salvation and faith. Anyone who has felt overwhelmed by church history, has started questioning their own theology, or is simply looking to learn more about Christianity will find great help and comfort in The Plan of Salvation. Following ...

A brief history of the doctrine of infant salvation from the church fathers to modern times. A classic reformed text on infant salvation and much more.From the introduction:"The task which we set before us in this brief paper is not to unravel the history of opinion as to the salvation of infants dying in infancy, but the much more circumscribed one of tracing the development of doctrine on this subject. We hope to show that there has been a doctrine as to the salvation of ...

One of the great and often asked questions of theology is addressed in this valuable apologetic text. The crucial subject of the authorship of the Bible can be a complex topic; however, Warfield delicately, clearly, and thoroughly illuminates the origins of scripture and the beauty of divine composition via human penmanship. This collection of essays, which answer and refer to debates, questions, and criticisms on the subject is a rigorous and worthy study of one of the fundamentals of Chr...

RELIGION is, shortly, the reaction of the human soul in the presence of God. As God is as much a part of the environment of man as the earth on which he stands, no man can escape from religion any more than he can escape from gravitation. But though every man necessarily reacts to God, men react of course diversely, each according to his nature, or perhaps we would better say, each according to his temperament. Thus, broadly speaking, three main types of religion arise, corresponding to th...

The Christ Myth by Arthur Drews was published early in 1909, and before the year was out its author was being requisitioned by dissidents from Christianity of the most incongruous types as a promising instrument for the general anti-christian propaganda. Few more remarkable spectacles have ever been witnessed than the exploitation throughout Germany in the opening months of 1910 of this hyper-idealistic metaphysician, disciple of von Hartmann and convinced adherent of the “Philoso...

It was inevitable that the energy of the Church in intellectually realizing and defining its doctrines in relation to one another, should first be directed towards the objective side of Christian truth. The chief controversies of the first four centuries and the resulting definitions of doctrine, concerned the nature of God and the person of Christ; and it was not until these theological and Christological questions were well upon their way to final settlement, that the Church could turn i...

I have recently received a letter from a valued friend asking me to send him a "discussion of the Greek words λαλέω (laleō) and λέγω (legō) in such passages as I Cor. 14: 33—39, with special reference to the question: Does the thirty-fourth verse forbid all women everywhere to speak or preach publicly in Christian churches?" The matter is of universal interest, and I take the liberty of communicating my reply to the readers of The Presbyterian. It requir...

I wish to speak to you to-day of the parable of the prodigal son, or, as it is becoming very common to call it, perhaps with greater exactness, the parable of the lost son. I shall not read it to you again. It has already been read in the lesson for the day. And in any event it is too familiar to require that you should be reminded even of the minuter details of the narrative. Probably no passage of the Scriptures is more widely known or more universally admired. The conversation and liter...
