Prefatory Note
R ev. Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield, D.D., LL.D., Professor of Didactic and Polemic Theology in the Theological Seminary of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, at Princeton,
New Jersey, provided in his will for the collection and publication of the numerous articles on theological subjects contained in encyclopaedias, reviews and other periodicals, and appointed a committee to edit and publish these papers. In pursuance of his instructions the first volume, entitled "Revelation and Inspiration," was published in 1927 by the Oxford University Press; this, the second volume, containing Dr. Warfield's articles on Biblical Doctrines, has been prepared under the editorial direction of this committee. In it the biblical references have been retained in the forms which were used in the several articles; but, while lacking in uniformity, it is believed that the abbreviations will readily be understood.
The generous permission to publish articles contained in this volume is gratefully acknowledged as follows: The Howard-Severance
Co. for the articles taken from the "International Standard Encyclopaedia," Charles Scribner's Sons for the articles taken from "A
Dictionary of the Bible," edited by James Hastings, and from "A Dictionary of Christ and the Gospels," edited by James Hastings.
The clerical preparation of this volume has been done by Miss Letitia N. Gosman, to whom the thanks of the committee are hereby expressed.
