Charles Hodge (1797–1878) was an American Presbyterian theologian and the leading figure of Princeton Theological Seminary, where he taught for over fifty years and served as principal from 1851 to 1878. Through the Princeton Review and his classroom he defended confessional Reformed orthodoxy for a generation of ministers. His three-volume Systematic Theology remains a standard work, and our library also holds The Way of Life and his Ephesians commentary.

The second volume of Charles Hodge's Systematic Theology, continuing the Princeton system begun in 1872. This volume turns to anthropology and Christology: the creation and fall of man, sin and the covenants, and then the person of Christ and His mediatorial work. Hodge writes as a careful expositor of Scripture and the Westminster standards, engaging opposing views along the way.
