Princeton Seminary: Volume 2, The Majestic Testimony 1869-1929

by David B. Calhoun

Here we encounter the great Hodge lineage; the broad scholarship of B. B. Warfield; the brilliance of Geerhardus Vos; the emergence of the young J. Gresham Machen. And through them we are introduced to the army of men they taught, loved, and sent through-out the world to serve Jesus Christ. It is a story which enables us to catch a glimpse of what, under God, scholarship, seminary life and Christian fellowship can be.

Reviews

[Coleson White · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not as good as the first, but still great

[Peter Bringe · Rating 4 out of 5]

I didn’t enjoy it as much as the first volume, but it was good.

[Matt Robertson · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the blurbs on the dust jacket of this book says, “There is nothing which has given me greater spiritual encouragement in a long time.” This is not an exaggeration. I have never been so encouraged, so challenged, and so moved by a book of history, and rarely by any book at all. The lives and legacies of Hodge, Warfield, Machen, and others at Old Princeton Seminary are encouraging and inspiring, and they are incredibly applicable to reformed evangelical Christians in our world today. An easy 5 stars. I can’t recommend this highly enough.
