Description: A. A. Hodge (1823-1886), son of Charles Hodge, first issued this, his best known work, in 1860 following three years' missionary work in India and eleven in American pastorates. Spurgeon used this as a textbook in his training of pastors. Enlarged and revised, it was reprinted in its final form in 1878 when the younger Hodge had reached his full maturity and entered upon his eight memorable years' teaching at Princeton. As a masterful condensation, not only of what had been taught at Princeton Seminary for more than sixty years but of the doctrinal positions of historic Christianity itself, the OUTLINES earned for the author the description given him by Dr. Shedd, "the populariser of scientific theology".
In reviewing A. A. Hodge's Outlines in Theology (1878) C.H. Spurgeon once stated: "We commend the Outlines of Theology to all who would be well instructed in the faith.
It is the standard text-book of our college. We differ from its teachings upon baptism, but in almost everything else we endorse Hodge to the letter." [my emphasis] In agreement with Spurgeon's enthusiasm, we believe this book should be on every persons shelf.
