A magnum opus by one of America's greatest Reformed theologians, representative, furthermore, of the best of Protestant theology based on the Word of God. It is the result of fifty years of teaching at Princeton Theological Seminary, written almost at the end of a life dedicated to study, writing, preaching, and training students aspiring to Christian ministry.
Hodge combines piety with scholarship, meticulously studying the basic doctrines of the Christian faith. The reader will follow the history of the most central doctrines from the first century, their biblical formulation, and in many cases their history through the first six councils and through the great Reformed Confessions. They will also note how the author contrasts biblical doctrines with rationalist and philosophical tendencies that, having made a great impact in Germany since the 18th century, had bitter effects in the 19th century and even into our century, giving apparent intellectual justification to unbelief and atheism.
Only the eschatological, postmillennial perspective, which is one of the historical characteristics of Reformed Theology, may perhaps be the point where many readers will disagree. But no one should forget that Christians are called to judge all things, all human formulations, all teachings, by means of the touchstone of the Word of God, and by it, in prayer and dependence on God, to form their own view. And that in any case, the intrinsic value of this magnum opus in all other branches of theological science amply compensates for any possible eschatological disagreement the reader may have with the great theologian of Princeton.
