This is a reprint of B.B. Warfield's "The Right of Systematic Theology". Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield (November 5, 1851 - February 16, 1921) was professor of theology at Princeton Seminary from 1887 to 1921. He served as the last principal of the Princeton Theological Seminary from 1886 to 1902. After the death of Warfield in office, Francis Landey Patton took over the functions of the office as the first president of seminary. Some conservative Presbyterians consider him to be the last of the great Princeton theologians before the split in 1929 that formed Westminster Theological Seminary and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.

Excerpt from The Right of Systematic Theology Professor Warfield of Princeton is well known on both sides of the Atlantic. He has rendered special service in the interest of Systematic Theology; and his defence of the "Right" of that science in a recent number of The Presbyterian and Reformed Review which he edits, has appeared to us well worthy of a wider circulation in this country than it can hope to have in a journal published in America. This explains the issue of the present book, which we commend to the attention of all who have in any degree realised the importance of the subject. William Garden Blaikie, D. D., LL.
