Old Testament Religion

Warfield says about Psalm 51,

“This passage reveals a sense of sin so intense and a perception of God’s grace so uplifting that it captures the profound transformation needed in sinful man to truly become a servant of God. It makes one wonder what additional Christian experience could contribute beyond what a saint under the Old Testament already experienced in turning from sin to God.”

This short study is part of a series from Warfield called Faith and Life, first published in 1916. Warfield spent much of his life close to home, caring for his sick wife. In the providence of God, this enabled him to give time to writing, and we are the beneficiaries. These short studies are taken from his Sunday afternoon classes with his students in Princeton, where he explores “the deeper currents of Christian faith and life.”
