What Others Say About This Book:

“A notable example of intellectual reclamation and recovery. Sensitively and knowledgably discusses the issues of faith and reason, particularly in relation to apologetics, and then assesses the strength of the critique of ‘post-conservative orthodoxy’ against the Princeton theology.” – Paul Helm, Regent College

“His argument is cogent, and it clears away the debris of unjust criticism so that we can again be delighted in the insights of Old Princeton Calvinism. As it turns out, the Old Princetonians are an attractive alternative to the confusions of modern liberalism and postfoundationalism.” – John M. Frame, Reformed Theological Seminary

“Shows that Archibald Alexander, Charles Hodge, B. B. Warfield, and their peers were theologians of the heart, in essential continuity with the Reformation approach.” – William Edgar, Westminster Theological Seminary
