  • “Well Before the Transdenominational Convergence of What We Now Call the Evangelical Church, B
    “Well before the transdenominational convergence of what we now call the evangelical church, B. B. Warfield spent forty years as the Presbyterian Horatius, holding the bridge that leads into the citadel of the Westminster Standards against those he saw as spoilers from the wastelands of liberalism. A heavyweight academic and a complete player in the fields of systematic, exegetical, historical, and polemical theology, he scattered his wisdom in hundreds of articles, which this book surveys and integrates with great skill. Warfield can now be seen in his full stature as the godly giant that he was, thanks to Fred Zaspel’s labor of love. Best thanks, and hallelujah!” J. I. Packer, Board of Governors’ Professor of Theology, Regent College “B. B. Warfield’s distinguished achievements as a systematic theologian have been obscured by the episodic, ad hoc publication of his major theological statements. But even if Warfield did not think it necessary that he write a single, connected systematic theology, it is nonetheless most welcome that Fred Zaspel has done the job for him! The result is a very useful compendium that gives both admirers and detractors of Warfield a full and coherent account of his theology. All who are in the least interested in Warfield or who care at all about vigorous Calvinist theology will find this a most valuable book.” Mark Noll, Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History, University of Notre Dame; author, America’s God: From Jonathan Edwards to Abraham Lincoln “Serious Christians who have dipped into Warfield find his writings to be a wholly admirable mix of rigorous exegesis, mature theological synthesis, and frank devotion to Christ.

Therefore, Resolved, That a Committee of five members of this Board, consisting of three ministers and two laymen, be ap- pointed, with power, in co-operation with a Committee of the Trustees, a Committee of the Faculty, and the Executive Com- mittee of the Alumni Association of the Seminary, to make all needful arrangements for such anniversary services."

  • Authors of Articles in the Biblical Repertory and Princeton Review
    Authors of Articles in The Biblical Repertory and Princeton Review [Volume I (1829) through Volume XL (1868)] Compiled by Earl William Kennedy 1963 Edited by Wayne Sparkman, Director of the PCA Historical Center, St. Louis, MO. with corrections, the addition of pagination, and information for Volumes XLI (1869) through XLIII (1871). 2007 INTRODUCTION This compilation is designed to make possible the immediate identification of the author(s) of any given article (or articles) in the Princeton Review. Unless otherwise stated, it is based on the alphabetical list of authors in the Index Volume from 1825 to 1868 (published in 1871), where each author‘s articles are arranged chronologically under his name. This Index Volume list in turn is based upon the recollections of several men closely associated with the Review. The following account is given of its genesis: ―Like the other great Reviews of the periods the writers contributed to its pages anonymously, and for many years no one kept any account of their labours. Dr. [Matthew B.] Hope [died 1859] was the first who attempted to ascertain the names of the writers in the early volumes, and he was only partially successful. With the aid of his notes, and the assistance of Dr. John Hall of Trenton, Dr. John C. Backus of Baltimore, and Dr. Samuel D. Alexander of New York, the companions and friends of the Editor and his early coadjutors, the information on this head here collected is as complete as it is possible now to be given.‖ (Index Volume, iii; of LSM, II, 271n; for meaning of symbols, see below) The Index Volume is usually but not always reliable.

  • Archibald Alexander of Princeton
    ARCHIBALD ALEXANDER OF PRINCETON FRANCIS MAKEMIE, the father of American Presbyterianism, was born in the neighbourhood of Ramelton, Co. Donegal, and was introduced to the Laggan Presbytery of that County by the Rev. Thomas Drummond of Ramelton. He was licensed by the Laggan Pres bytery in 1 6 8 1, and shortly after was ordained by it with a view to going to America. His residence for eighteen years (I 690 to I 708) was in Virginia, but he exercised an extensive and powerful ministry far beyond its borders. The Church which sent him forth was a Church cc under the cross " and in the land of his choice he had also to do battle and to suffer for liberty. He took a prominent part in forming the first Presbytery (of Philadelphia), and shortly after its formation he was its Moderator (in December, I 706). cc He was a man of eminent piety, as well as strong intellectual powers, and an uncommonly fascinating address."1 Archibald Alexander, the subject of this sketch, had con­ nections, like Makemie, with Ulster and Virginia, and was a builder of American Presbyterianism. His grandfather, whose name he bore, went to America from the neighbourhood of Londonderry. He settled first in Pennsylvania, where he came under the influence of a great Revival. After a few years he moved to the beautiful and fertile valley of Virginia. His son, William, became an elder of the Church, but did not rise to the Christian eminence of his father. William had a family of nine children of whom Archibald was the third.
