Description:

On Sunday afternoons at Princeton Theological Seminary 'Conferences' were held in the Oratory, when inspiring messages were delivered to those in training for the ministry. Faith and Life contains 41 of these given by B. B. Warfield (1851-1921) when he was Professor of Theology. His prodigious output of theological writings is well known but here we see his concern that all engaged in the ministry maintain a close personal walk with the Saviour and depend on the work of the Holy Spirit for the success of their labours.

His theological approach is very evident, carefully looking for the spiritual meaning and application of each text, but never allowing this to detract from the point being driven home.

First published in 1916, this edition has been completely re-typeset for issue as an eBook. **

About the Author

Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield was born in 1851 in Lexington, Kentucky. He studied mathematics and science at Princeton University and graduated in 1871. In 1873, he decided to enroll at Princeton Theological Seminary, where he was taught by Charles Hodge. He graduated from seminary in 1876, and was married shortly thereafter. He traveled to Germany later that year to study under Franz Delitzsch. After returning to America, Warfield taught at Western Theological Seminary (now Pittsburgh Theological Seminary). In 1881, Warfield co-wrote an article with A. A. Hodge on the inspiration of Scripture—a subject which dominated his scholarly pursuits throughout the remainder of his lifetime. When A. A. Hodge died in 1887, Warfield became professor of Theology at Princeton, where he taught from 1887–1921. History remembers Warfield as one of the last great Princeton Theologians prior to the seminary’s re-organization and the split in the Presbyterian Church. B. B. Warfield died in 1921.
