The Faculty of Princeton Seminary, Including Machen, Warfield, Vos et al
This rare volume was compiled to celebrate the completion of 100 years of faithful service to the Church of Jesus Christ in May of 1912. The faculty submitted essays that demonstrated the spiritual atmosphere that permeated that beloved and blessed institution that trained men for gospel ministry from the world over.
Outstanding articles are here from men like B.B. Warfield, J. Gresham Machen, Geerhardus Vos, Robert Dick Wilson, Oswald Allis and many more.
New Introduction and Biographical Summaries by David B. Calhoun
"Here is scholarship at its best, written with a passion for the truth and a deep concern to instruct, nourish and guard the church of Christ. A 'must-have' addition to the bookshelves of thoughtful 21st century Christians!" -Sinclair Ferguson
"Biblical & Theological Studies is an overlooked gem in the world of reprints. I'm grateful it is finally being brought back into circulation. The chapters on seminary training and homiletics are timeless, as is Warfield's moving testimony on Christ's emotional life. This is a must read for seminary students and ministers, and will be of great value to thoughtful believers."- Joel R. Beeke
"Throughout its first century, Princeton Theological Seminary was the only American seminary which any significant number of students from outside the United States attended. The care in biblical exegesis, intellectual engagement, and theological argumentation displayed by the articles in this book demonstrates how that high reputation was won." -Mark Noll

INTRODUCTION
In 1912, to commemorate the first hundred years of its history, the Princeton Theological Seminary faculty published a hefty volume of Biblical and Theological Studies. It was the faculty's fitting tribute to a school founded to study and teach the Word of God and to set forth and defend the faith "once delivered to the saints." All but one of the fifteen professors had at one time also been students at the seminary.
The first chapter of the book, "Theological Encyclopaedia" by the seminary's president, Francis Landey Patton, asserts the necessity of a thorough theological education for preachers of the Gospel. It is as relevant today as it was almost a hundred years ago. B. B. Warfield is at his best (and that is very, very good) in writing on "The Emotional Life of Our Lord." Here we worship as we learn. Church historian John De Witt sets forth his and Princeton Seminary's appreciation of Jonathan Edwards (He gave this address originally in the Meeting House of the Parish Church of Stockbridge, Massachusetts, at the 1903 celebration of the two hundredth anniversary of Jonathan Edwards' birth). Chapters by Geerhardus Vos and Gresham Machen anticipate their great contributions to come in biblical theology and New Testament studies. "Sin and Grace in the Biblical Narratives Rehearsed in the Koran" by James Oscar Boyd demonstrates the breadth of interest and expertise of the 1912 Princeton faculty, perhaps the strongest in its history, as do the chapters by Robert Dick Wilson ("The Aramaic of Daniel") and Kerr Duncan Macmillan ("The Interpretation of the Shepherd of Hermas"). Practical theology is represented by Frederick William Loetscher's "Homiletics as a Theological Discipline" and Charles Erdman's "Modern Spiritual Movements."
In his essay, "Theological Encyclopaedia," Francis Patton writes:
And so I say to my younger brethren in the ministry, and especially to the young men who have not yet entered it: get powers of expression, get knowledge, get thought-power, get rich Christian experience, get a knowledge of homiletical technique, and then let the sermon be yours--nay, rather, let it be you. Let it be an arrow shot from the tense bow-string of conviction and it will hit the mark every time.
It could be said of the fifteen chapters of this book that they are fifteen arrows "shot from the tense bow-string of conviction." And they "hit the mark every time."
