Praise for Charles Hodge

Through his heartfelt personal piety, encyclopedic intellect, and position of influence at the country's most important Presbyterian seminary, Hodge spent his nearly-sixty-year career crafting a uniquely American strain of Reformed theology. Mainly through his writings in the Repertory, but in numerous other venues as well, he brought his confessional beliefs to bear on issues as diverse as slavery, temperance, presidential politics, war, international diplomacy, advances in science, educational reform, and domestic and foreign missions.
. . . few Americans can match the depth, breadth, and longevity of Hodge's theological influence, and perhaps no single figure is better able to help one appreciate the immensely powerful and hugely complex nature of conservative American Protestantism in the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries that the deeply pious, keenly intelligent, and yet largely forgotten Charles Hodge.

—Paul C. Gutjahr, author of Charles Hodge: Guardian of American Orthodoxy

Unabashed in his enthusiasm for sound orthodoxy coupled with Reformed piety, as churchman, theologian, controversialist, and writer on all matters of interest, he lived and worked as one of the nineteenth century's most influential Presbyterians.

—Andrew W. Hoffecker, author of Charles Hodge: The Pride of Princeton

The breadth of Hodge's concerns is disconcerting for our age, accustomed as we are to the specialists who mark out carefully defined fields for ever more minute examination. It was not so a century ago. Like several of his contemporaries Hodge considered the world fair game for commentary. So while he concentrated on questions of moment for his Presbyterian denomination, on issues of theological controversy at home and abroad, and on trends in American religious life, he also wrote with authority on the great events of American politics, on new proposals in philosophy, on a wide range of historical subjects, and on the religious implications of scientific questions.

—Mark Noll

I have sat under many noted teachers, and yet am free to say that as an educator I consider Dr. Hodge superior to them all.

Systematic Theology, vol. 1

• Publication Date: 1872
• Pages: 648

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Considered his magnum opus, Charles Hodge's 3-volume Systematic Theology has remained a classic in Reformed theology. Volume one contains an extensive introduction that covers the nature of theology, rationalism, mysticism, Roman Catholic doctrine concerning the rule of faith, the Protestant rule of faith, and more. With these general principles outlined and explained, Hodge begins part one of the Systematic Theology with the following chapters:

• Part I: Theology Proper

• Origin of the Idea of God
• Theism
• Anti-Theistic Theories
• Knowledge of God
• The Nature and Attributes of God
• The Trinity
• The Divinity of Christ
• The Holy Spirit
• The Decrees of God
• Creation
• Providence
• Miracles
• Angels

It is recognized on both sides of the water as of standard and authoritative value. . . . The characteristic of Dr. Hodge's Theology is, that it aims to be most rigidly and scrupulously Biblical.

—New York Times

For clearness of view, force of argument, and general comprehensiveness and grasp, the work cannot be surpassed. Neither is it sectarian in its character, but rests upon the broad foundations of Evangelical truth. No theologian or controversialist can afford to be without it, since all the different phases of theological, metaphysical, and materialistic thought, from the oldest heresies to the newest notions, are exhaustively examined and analyzed.

—Newark Daily Advertiser

The book is undoubtedly the most important contribution to theological science of late years . . . Its beauty is, that while the profoundest theologians can read it with advantage, the simplest believer will be profited by its perusal.

—New York Observer

Nothing so elaborate, so profound, and extended has been given the world for many years.

—New York Evangelist

We know of no man now living who from long practice and experience in the sphere of theological controversy, and in intellectual greatness, in keenness of analytical and logical power, and mingled beauty and strength of style, is Dr. Hodge's superior in the department of literature which these volumes represent. We regard this work, in its fullness, as one of the most important that American thinkers have produced.

—Boston Watchman and Reflector

These are the words of our venerated teacher, to whom we listened in our youth, and from whom we have received a large portion of whatever of systematic knowledge of God's Word we may have attained. We can only give words of welcome to a volume like this from his hands.

—Philadelphia Presbyterian

It is perhaps not too much to say of it, that this is the most important contribution to the literature of theology since the days of Jonathan Edwards. The reputation of Dr. Hodge in this department, by reason of his lifelong associations and his eminent abilities, is such as to command for him, as a recognized authority, respectful hearing in all the churches.

—Philadelphia S. S. Times

It is sure of a wide welcome, not only from the many clergymen who were his pupils, but from all who are interested in the study of theology.

—New York Examiner and Chronicle

This volume is a monument of thought and Christian scholarship, and will be welcomed and studied by intelligent minds in all the Christian denominations.

—New York Christian Advocate

Dr. Hodge is doing an admirable work in this thorough exhibition of theological truth.

—Boston Congregationalist

The author, so widely known at home and abroad by his essays and commentaries, is an acknowledged master in the science of theology . . . No clergyman, or student of divinity, or layman who delights in profound thought, can well afford to be without it.

—Chicago Interior

The enumeration of the subjects is sufficient to show the great value of the work by an author of such admitted learning and ability. It is not too much to say that this is the first of the theoligical works of the present age.

Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans

• Author: Charles Hodge
• Publisher: Louis Kregel
• Publication Date: 1886
• Pages: 715

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Charles Hodge introduces the book of Romans by discussing the authorship, dating, and setting of the epistle. He also devotes attention to the nature of the original audience, with particular emphasis on the historical and theological context of the church in Rome and the role of Jews in the Roman Empire—fundamental issues which comprise the backdrop of Pauline theology.

The entire volume contains verse-by-verse commentary on each chapter of Romans. Hodge examines both the Greek text and his own English translation, which means that this commentary—like all the commentaries in this collection—are as useful to New Testament scholars as they are accessible to laypersons. He concludes his commentary on each chapter with a summary of the key doctrinal points and their relevance for exegesis and interpretation.

Hodge's method and matter make him doubly useful in commenting. He is singularly clear, and a great promoter of thought.

An Exposition of the First Epistle to the Corinthians

• Author: Charles Hodge
• Publisher: Robert Carter & Brothers
• Publication Date: 1857
• Pages: 373

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Hodge begins his commentary on 1 Corinthians with an introduction to the geographic and political significance of the city of Corinth. In particular, he shows how the history of Corinth, its relationship to the city to Athens, and the political climate of the Roman Empire contribute to the pastoral and theological controversies which Paul aims to address.

Hodge also attends to the theological implications of Paul’s pastoral concerns for the church in Corinth—issues such as church divisions, sexual immorality, marriage and divorce, idolatry, worship, spiritual gifts, and the resurrection. More importantly, Hodge argues that 1 Corinthians has made its way into the New Testament canon because Paul’s words on these theological and pastoral issues are fit not only for his original readers, but also for the entire history of the church. This commentary on 1 Corinthians serves as an important first step toward hearing those words.

An Exposition of the Second Epistle to the Corinthians

• Author: Charles Hodge
• Publisher: A. C. Armstrong & Son
• Publication Date: 1891
• Pages: 314

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Hodge continues his commentary on Paul’s correspondence with the church in Corinth. In this volume, he addresses Paul’s journeys, the new covenant, the resurrection, reconciliation, idolatry, repentance, generosity, and suffering.

A Commentary on the Epistle to the Ephesians

• Author: Charles Hodge
• Publisher: Robert Carter and Brothers
• Publication Date: 1858
• Pages: 398

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Hodge’s commentary on Ephesians begins with a discussion of the geographic and political significance of the city of Ephesus, and the unique position in which the church there found itself. In particular, says Hodge, the church struggled with how best to resist idolatry and how to relate to their broader culture—not unlike issues faced by the contemporary church.

Hodge also outlines Paul’s history with the church in Ephesus and the timeline of his work, including individuals with whom he met, disputes he resolved, and the other apostles who influenced the church in Ephesus. Hodge also notes the significance of Paul’s infamous confrontation with the supporters of Artemis, along with the relationship between the ensuing riot and the content of the Epistle.

In addition to verse-by-verse commentary and linguistic and textual analysis of every chapter in Ephesians, Hodge also comments more broadly on trends in Ephesians scholarship. He examines German critics and higher criticism in general, and he evaluates nineteenth century commentaries on Ephesians.

What Is Darwinism?

• Author: Charles Hodge
• Publisher: Scribner, Armstrong, and Company
• Publication Date: 1874
• Pages: 178

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

After discussing several varying theories of the universe and its phenomena, Charles Hodge delves deep into Darwinism. Explaining the principles behind Darwinism and natural selection, Hodge gives a clear and thorough rebuttal to the theory and points out its faults and flaws.

Remarkable for two things: first, the clearness and force with which it sets forth the fact that Darwin himself rejects the doctrine of design as an essential feature of his theory; and second, the abundant extracts from various writers by which he illustrates the atheistic spirit of the great majority of the naturalists of the Darwinian School.

Princeton Sermons

• Author: Charles Hodge
• Publisher: Thomas Nelson and Sons
• Publication Date: 1879
• Pages: 373

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

From the time of its foundation, Princeton Theological Seminary had a Sabbath afternoon tradition where its professors would meet with students to discuss matters of Scripture—as pastors and friends, not as instructors. The professors would give a sermon, and then the group would discuss what it meant. "Here they sought rather to build up Christian men, than to form accomplished scholars, and to infuse into their pupils the highest motives, and to instruct them in the wisest methods for their future work of saving souls and of edifying the Church of Christ."

Charles Hodge prepared for these sermons as much as he did for his theology courses, believing them to be just as important. Princeton Sermons contains 249 of Hodge's sermon outlines divided into ten themes:

• God and His Attributes
• Christ, His Person, and Offices
• The Holy Spirit and His Offices
• Satan and His Influence—Sin and Sins
• Conversion—Entrance upon the Christian Life
• Christian Experiences, Characteristics, and Privileges
• Christian Responsibilities and Duties
• The Means of Grace—The Scriptures, Ministry, Sacraments, Etc.
• Death, and the Consummation of Redemption
• Last Words—Papers Prepared During the Last Years of His Life

They present in an analytical form an amount and quality of homiletical example and suggestion probably not surpassed in the English language.

About Charles Hodge

Charles Hodge counts as one of the most influential theologians of the nineteenth century and one of Calvinism’s most ardent defenders in America. He was born in 1797 in Philadelphia to Hugh and Mary Hodge. He graduated from the College of New Jersey (Princeton University) in 1815, and was ordained in the Presbyterian Church in 1821. In 1822, at the request of Archibald Alexander, he became a professor at Princeton, and taught biblical literature and systematic theology until 1878. From 1826 to 1828, Hodge also studied in Europe, and became acquainted with Friedrich Augustus Tholuck, Wilhelm Gesenius, Augustus Neander, and Friedrich Schleiermacher.

During his tenure at Princeton, Hodge instructed more than three thousand ministers, served as moderator of the Presbyterian General Assembly in 1846, helped revise the Presbyterian Church’s Book of Discipline, and served on the Board of Foreign Missions. He also founded the Biblical Repertory and Princeton Review and served as its editor for forty-three years. In addition to his systematic theology and four Bible commentaries, Hodge also wrote books on the Presbyterian Church and published numerous articles.

Charles Hodge died on June 19, 1878. Among his last words: “To be absent from the body is to be with the Lord, to be with the Lord is to see the Lord, to see the Lord is to be like him.”
