Charles Hodge

    Charles Hodge fut un théologien presbytérien influent et une figure clé du Séminaire de Princeton. Il fut un important défenseur de la théologie de Princeton, une tradition calviniste orthodoxe du XIXe siècle en Amérique. Il défendit avec ferveur l'autorité de la Bible en tant que Parole de Dieu. Ses idées ont jeté les bases des mouvements fondamentalistes et évangéliques du XXe siècle.

    The Way of Life: Christian Belief and Experience
    • 'It is one of the clearest principles of Divine revelation, that holiness is the fruit of truth; and it is one of the plainest inferences from that principle, that the exhibition of the truth is the best means of promoting holiness. Christians regard the word of God as the only infallible teacher of those truths which relate to the salvation of men. But are the Scriptures really a revelation from God? If they are, what doctrines do they teach? And what influence should those doctrines exert on our heart and life? If this little book should be instrumental, by the simple exhibition of the truth, in pointing out the way of life to those who are anxious to know what they must believe and what they must experience in order to be saved, it will answer the design of its preparation and publication.' -- From the Preface
