Description
Take a fresh look at the work of B.B. Warfield. 'The Lion of Princeton,' as he was known, was in many ways the most significant American apologist, polemicist, and theologian of his age. However, despite the resurging interest in Warfield's life and work, his views are often misunderstood.
In The Lion of Princeton, Kim Riddlebarger investigates Warfield's theological, apologetical, and polemical writings, bringing clarity to the confusion surrounding this key figure of the Princeton tradition. He provides a biographical overview of Warfield's life, traces the growing appreciation for Warfield's thought, evaluates the fundamental structures in Warfield's overall theology, and examines Warfield's work in the field of systematic theology.

He is author of A Case for Amillennialism and The Man of Sin, and a co-host of the White Horse Inn radio program.
Reviews
It has been a pleasure for me to learn more about Warfield as a colleague of Kim Riddlebarger. To my mind, Kim is a lot like Warfield: lucid and learned, measured and careful with his judgments, yet bold just where it's needed. This book exposes us to Warfield on his own terms, and usually in his own words.
--Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California
"Almost a century after his death, B.B. Warfield continues to command attention as a must-read theologian. Kim Riddlebarger's accounting of Warfield's philosophical influences raises again the question of the role of Scottish Common Sense Realism in the Princeton tradition, which many will dispute--but all who owe a debt to Warfield's vast erudition and evident devotion to Christ and the Scriptures will find much to enjoy in this portrait of the 'Lion of Princeton.'"
