152. Kim Riddlebarger on B. B. Warfield


Listen Later

In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Kim Riddlebarger to discuss his book The Lion of Princeton: B. B. Warfield as Apologist and Theologian. Who was Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield and why does he matter, even today? From B.B.’s work in textual criticism to apologetics, his work on patristics to his career reviewing books – the great Princeton professor is as relevant as ever, addressing and improving the defense and understanding of the Christian Faith, for friend and foe alike. Kim also answers some of the recent criticisms he has received, from epistemology to even his articulation of the Biblical doctrine of the Trinity – as well as the question of whether or not he a “fundamentalist”?
