The Lion of Princeton B B Warfield and the Battle for Biblical Inerrancy

Описание: Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield was more than a theologian—he was the last great defender of Old Princeton orthodoxy and one of the most formidable minds in American Christian history. Known as the “Lion of Princeton,” Warfield stood at the crossroads of faith, science, and modern skepticism during a time when the authority of Scripture was under relentless attack.

In this in-depth narrative, we explore Warfield’s life from his Kentucky upbringing and scientific training to his decades-long academic career at Princeton Theological Seminary. You will discover how his commitment to biblical inerrancy was forged through rigorous scholarship, personal suffering, and unwavering conviction. From his landmark work on inspiration to his critiques of Higher Criticism, the Historical Jesus movement, and theological modernism, Warfield met the challenges of his age head-on—using scholarship, not retreat.

This video also examines Warfield’s nuanced views on science and evolution, his doctrine of concursus, his pastoral heart shaped by decades of caregiving, and his lasting influence on evangelical theology, J. Gresham Machen, and the founding of Westminster Theological Seminary.

Warfield’s legacy proves that intellectual rigor and deep faith are not enemies—but allies. His voice still speaks to the modern church, reminding us that the Word of God endures when every cultural wind has passed.
