The Saviour of the World: Sermons preached in the Chapel of Princeton Theological Seminary

Notable in the Presbyterian tradition Benjamin B. Warfields sermons on the history and significance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour are as lively informed and embracing today as ever.Delivered in the closing years of the 19th century these lectures are unflinching in their accuracy and frankness: not a man to mince words or bluster Warfield tells us who Jesus was and what He meant for the faithful of the world. The undoubted accomplishments of Christ and his sacrifice for the sake of mankind are detailed with the authoritative quotation of scripture. Warfield was a conservative even in his time: revivalism which the author felt to be a distraction from the core teachings of Christ has no presence in this work.For readers seeking a classic perspective on the life of Christ this book is one which confronts the topics at hand with boldness. For years Warfield ran the Princeton Theological Seminary an institution which to this day is influential in educating those who will become Presbyterian ministers. The preachers forthright tone of captivation is prevalent throughout supported by scriptural citations and the emphatic manner in which Warfield - a famously assertive scholar - delivers truths about Jesus.
