Horton's, Zaspel's, Warfield's, and our theology

It was good for Michael Horton ... It was good for Fred Zaspel ... It was good for B.B. Warfield ... and it's good enough for me.

The Christian Faith: A Systematic Theology for Pilgrims on the Way

Dr. Michael Horton is interviewed about his forthcoming book The Christian Faith: A Systematic Theology for Pilgrims on the Way in the 8 Sept. 2010 edition of Westminster Seminary California's podcast "Office Hours." As much as a one-volume work can do, Horton said he spends time not only on the biblical-theological roots of a doctrine, but also on the historical-theological development.

Product Description: The most important systematic theology since Louis Berkhof's 1932 magum opus. Interacting with movements within the Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox traditions, award-winning scholar Horton offers a brief synopsis of biblical passages that inform a particular doctrine; and surveys current and past works with contemporary emphasis on exegetical, philosophical, practical, and theological questions. Includes an extensive bibliography.


The Theology of B. B. Warfield: A Systematic Summary

Fred Zaspel answered some of Justin Taylor's questions about his new book The Theology of B.B. Warfield: A Systematic Summary.

Publisher's Description: Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield (1851–1921) was undoubtedly one of the greatest Reformed theologians in the history of America. As professor of didactic and polemic theology at Princeton University, he wrote extensively in defense of fundamental Christian doctrines. While his writing touched on the full spectrum of theological topics, it was spread over hundreds of periodicals, books, and pamphlets, and a significant portion has never been published in an accessible form. Warfield stands as a dominant figure on the theological landscape, but few have a comprehensive grasp of his theology, largely because of the difficulty of tracing his ideas through numerous sources.

The table of contents, chapter 1, and the appendices and indices may be read online for free.
