Autosoterism

If nothing else, theology for breakfast is bound to broaden your vocabulary! Hopefully it is doing much more! Read chapter two on Autosoterism (self-salvation) for next week, November 13. It may also help to review the chart at the end of chapter 1 in the actual book. I leave you with this evaluation of Warfield by one of his theological foes: "Dr. Warfield had the finest mind ever to teach at Princeton Seminary."

The Lion of Princeton

B.B. Warfield was affectionately known as "the Lion of Princeton." The moniker underscored his academic and theological prowess. Benjamin taught theology at Princeton from 1887 to 1921 where he seemingly never backed down from opportunities to promote and defend the truthfulness of Scripture, the supremacy of Christ, and gospel of sovereign grace. For the next five weeks we will work through The Plan of Salvation which is "A study of the basic and essential differences between various interpretations of the Christian religion" (the publisher). Have the first chapter ("Differing Conceptions") read for Tuesday, November 6th. The book is free here, 99 cents on Kindle, or available at the OBC bookstore.
