Faith & Life (B.B. Warfield)

Description Product Details Faith & Life B.B. Warfield stands as one of the greatest of Reformed theologians. He taught for over thirty years at Princeton Seminary, achieving an enormous output of learned and massive books and articles in defense of historic Calvinism. Faith and Life reveals another side of the man. Warfield kept up the Princeton tradition of Sunday afternoon classes with the students of the Seminary in which, in his own words, ‘the deeper currents of Christian faith and life’ were explored. This book contains some of the memorable addresses he gave on those occasions. Always based on careful use of Scripture (Warfield has been called ‘a master of the Scripture’s meaning’), they are informal yet restrained, urgent yet tender. The learned theologian had a child-like confidence in his Savior and in the reality of his own Christian experience. He once told his students, ‘In your case there can be no “either-or”, either a student or a man of God. You must be both.’ Warfield himself was both, as these pages reveal. Among the various subjects dealt with, two stand out: the work of the Spirit in conviction, faith, adoption, and prayer; and the need for true devotion to Christ and his cause. Although, on Warfield’s death, Gresham Machen believed that ‘old Princeton’ had died with him, this book can help the type of piety, long eclipsed, for which Warfield stood, to shine forth in its fullness again.   Table of Contents The Cause of God 1 Kings 19:9 1 Old Testament Religion Psalm 51:12 14 The Wrath of Man Psalm 76:10 24 For Christ’s Sake Matthew 5:11 32 This- and Other-Worldliness Matthew 6:33 43 Light and Shining Mark 4:21-25 53 Childlikeness Mark 10:15 65 The Glory of the Word John 1:1 81 Looking to Men John 5:44 93 A Half-learned Christ John 6:68, 69 103 The Conviction of the Spirit John 16:8-11 116 Christ’s Prayer for His People John 17:15 128 The Outpouring of the Spirit Acts 2:16, 17 135 Prayer as a Means of Grace Acts 9:11 146 Surrender and Consecration Acts 22:10 154 The Summation of the Gospel Acts 26:18 165 The Spirit’s Testimony to Our Sonship Romans 8:16 179 The Spirit’s Help in Our Praying Romans 8:26, 27 193 All Things Working Together for Good Romans 8:28 202 Man’s Husbandry and God’s Bounty 1 Corinthians 3:5-9 211 Communion in Christ’s Body and Blood 1 Corinthians 10:16, 17 222 The Spirit of Faith 2 Corinthians 4:13 231 New Testament Puritanism 2 Corinthians 6:11-7:1 243 Paul’s Great Thanksgiving Ephesians 1:3-14 259 Spiritual Strengthening Ephesians 3:16 267 The Fullness of God Ephesians 3:19 279 The Sealing of the Holy Spirit Ephesians 4:30 289 Working Out Salvation Philippians 2:12, 13 298 The Alien Righteousness Philippians 3:9 314 Peace with God Philippians 4:7 326 The Heritage of the Saints in Light Colossians 1:12 340 The Hidden Life Colossians 3:1-4 350 Entire Sanctification 1 Thessalonians 5:23, 24 361 The Mystery of Godliness 1 Timothy 3:16 373 The Inviolate Deposit 1 Timothy 6:20, 21 385 The Way of Life Titus 3:4-9 393 The Eternal Gospel 2 Timothy 1:9, 10 402 Communion with Christ 2 Timothy 2:11-13 415 Prayer as a Practice James 5:16 428 God’s Holiness and Ours 1 Peter 1:15 440 Childship to God 1 John 2:28-3:1 448
