Biblical Doctrines

Written by B. B. Warfield Reviewed By Craig L. Blomberg

Banner of Truth have reissued the second and ninth volumes of the Oxford University Press series of Warfield’s collected writings, which first appeared in 1929 and 1932 respectively. The former volume contains 16 articles on a variety of biblical doctrines. Thirteen of these are also found in the better known series edited by S. G. Craig in the 1940s and 1950s, eight in Biblical and Theological Studies and five in The Person and Work of Christ. The latter volume (Studies in Theology) contains 21 articles on a variety of theological themes. Only eight of these are readily available elsewhere: five in Biblical and Theological Studies, two in The Person and Work of Christ and one in the 1970 reprint of Selected Shorter Writings of Benjamin B. Warfield (vol. 1). The relation between the different editions of Warfield’s articles is as tortuous as that with C. S. Lewis and the potential buyer will do well to check that he does not already possess half the contents of the book in earlier incarnations! Warfield fans will be grateful that more of the master’s writings have been made readily available.
