Bücher von Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield

The Right of Systematic Theology is a book written by Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield in 1897. In this book, Warfield argues for the importance and necessity of systematic theology in the Christian faith. He contends that systematic theology is not only a valid field of study, but also an essential one for understanding the nature of God and the relationship between God and humanity.Warfield begins by examining the role of reason in theology and argues that reason is a necessary tool in understanding God and his revelation. He then goes on to discuss the various methods of theology, including biblical, historical, and philosophical approaches. He argues that each of these methods is important in its own way, but that systematic theology is the most comprehensive and effective method for understanding the Christian faith.Warfield also addresses some of the criticisms that have been leveled against systematic theology, such as the charge that it is too abstract and disconnected from real-life experiences. He argues that systematic theology is not only relevant to everyday life, but also necessary for addressing practical issues and challenges faced by Christians.Overall, The Right of Systematic Theology is a thoughtful and persuasive defense of the importance of systematic theology in the Christian faith. It is a valuable resource for theologians, pastors, and anyone interested in deepening their understanding of God and his relationship with humanity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

If the Bible is written by fallible human beings, how can its words convey divine revelation? Perhaps the greatest challenge of Warfield's lifetime was the modernist skepticism of biblical inspiration and authority. Modern biblical scholars showed that textual and linguistic analysis proved the human authorship of the Bible, and from there proceeded to strip miracles of their power, texts of their authenticity, and God of his historical intervention in the lives of individuals. Warfield responded to modernist and higher biblical critics by showing that intellect of the biblical authors not only remained fully operational and engaged, but that God also worked through human words and texts to convey divine revelation.

After three- quarters of a century, Dr. Abraham Kuyper's exhaustive study of the work of the Holy Spirit -- how available for the first time in a paperback edition -- still stands undiminished as a comprehensive Protestant statement about a central but much-misunderstood part of the Christian faith. "I have made an effort," Dr. Kuyper writes in his preface, "to represent the work of the Holy Spirit in its organic relations, so that the reader may survey the entire domain. And in surveying, who is not surprised at the ever-widening dimensions of the work of the Holy Spirit in all the things that pertain to God and man?" The 123 brief sections that make up this work first appeared in the Heraut, a Dutch religious weekly of which Dr. Kuyper served as editor. So it is that this profound exposition is lucidly written in the language of the ordinary people for whose spiritual growth he was deeply concerned.
