Warfield Born—Princeton’s Lion
Benjamin Warfield (1851 to 1921)
Presbyterian
Warfield held to Bible inspiration.
Benjamin Warfield was born in Lexington, Kentucky.
Ordained into ministry in 1879, he pastored only a year before securing his
first teaching position. From 1887 until his death in 1921, Warfield was
professor of theology at Princeton Theological
Seminary. He was an ardent Calvinist and a strict fundamentalist, holding to
the "plenary" [full or whole] inspiration of the Bible when Higher
Criticism seemed to have demolished Scripture. Today it is Higher Criticism
that is in retreat. Among his publications are The Inspiration and Authority of
the Bible and The Plan of Salvation.
