Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield (November 5, 1851 - February 16, 1921) — The Centennial of B. B. Warfield's Death

Warfield 3.jpg

B. B. Warfield died of an apparent heart attack on February 16, 1921. I thought it might be a fitting tribute to talk about Warfield bibliography.

One hundred years after his death, Warfield's collected works are still readily available: The ten-volume “Oxford” set reprinted by Baker Books, or the five-volume set from P & R (several volumes are still in print, but e-book editions of the others are easy to find), and the two-volume set Warfield's Selected Shorter Writings, published by P & R in 2001, includes many important essays.

A huge (and free) collection of Warfield’s books, essays, and articles about Warfield can be found at Monergism.com. Monergism's Warfield Resources

Below, you will find some recommendations.

Books:

In my humble opinion every Reformed Christian should read Warfield's The Inspiration and Authority of the Bible. There is nothing like it.  It has generated no end of controversy — Warfield develops and defends the doctrine of inerrancy. This book is too important not to read. The Inspiration and Authority of the Bible.

I would also suggest Warfield's Plan of Salvation (The Plan of Salvation). There is also a Kindle version available.

Every seminarian should read Warfield’s short essay: On the Religious Life of Theological Students
