Prefatory Note
ev. Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield, D.D., LL.D., Professor of Didactic R and Polemic Theology in the Theological Seminary of the Presbyterian
Church 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, this, the first volume containing his articles on Revelation and Inspiration, has been prepared under the editorial direction of this committee.
The contents of the succeeding volumes will be as follows: the articles on certain great Biblical doctrines, the critical articles on the Person of Christ, those on historical theology, on Perfectionism, articles on miscellaneous theological subjects, and the more important book reviews.
It is proposed to publish these volumes in as rapid succession as possible.
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, and D. Appleton & Co. for an article taken from the Universal Cyclopedia and Atlas.
The clerical preparation of this volume has been done by Miss Letitia N.
Gosman, to whom the thanks of the committee are hereby expressed.
