Evolution, Scripture, and Science (B.B. Warfield)
$34.95$42.00
Are naturalistic and Christian creation irreconcilable ideologies? In this collection of B. B. Warfield’s writings, editors Mark A. Noll and David N. Livingstone demonstrate that theologians have not always thought so. Around the turn of the twentieth century, Princeton theologian B. B. Warfield believed that synthesizing his commitment to the scientific validity of evolution and to the inerrancy of the Bible was an attainable theological task. By drawing reasonable distinctions among Darwinism, Charles Darwin, and evolution, he was able to accept the probability of evolution while denying the implications of full-blown Darwinism. In the realm of inerrancy and evolution, Warfield’s writings exemplify civil Christian scholarship and shrewd scientific discernment. The editors have carefully gleaned Warfield’s writings on evolution and inerrancy from theological essays, book reviews, lectures, and historical papers. Editorial headnotes introduce the reader to each article’s context and content. However, the editors let Warfield’s articles speak for themselves and inform the contemporary dialogue between science and theology. Referring to the current debate, the editors concur that “One way of jolting discussion about science and theology out of the fervent, but also intellectually barren stand-offs of recent decades, is to note one of the best-kept secrets in American intellectual history: B. B. Warfield.”

B. B. Warfield: Christian Biographies for Young Readers (Simonetta Carr)
$13.95B. B. Warfield lived at a time when many people—even those who considered themselves Christians—were questioning the authority of God’s Word. For centuries most people in Europe and North America had taken for granted that the Bible was the word of God, but in Warfield’s lifetime they were wondering whether it could still be trusted.
Warfield was confident that the Bible could be trusted, and as a professor of theology at Princeton Seminary, he devoted his life to teaching and writing about its authority and other important issues of theology. In this biography, Simonetta Carr introduces children to one of America’s greatest Reformed theologians whose timeless writings address challenges to the truths of God’s Word today.

Faith & Life (B.B. Warfield)
$19.95B.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.
