Systematic Theology
By Charles Hodge
Charles Hodge’s great systematic theology work is a well known Reformed/Calvinist theology. It is extensive.
Charles Hodge (December 27, 1797 – June 19, 1878) “was an important Presbyterian theologian and principal of Princeton Theological Seminary between 1851 and 1878. He was a leading exponent of the Princeton theology, an orthodox Calvinist theological tradition in America during the 19th century. He argued strongly for the authority of the Bible as the Word of God. Many of his ideas were adopted in the 20th century by Fundamentalists and Evangelicals.” Wikipedia
