One of the motivations behind this resource is simply because I could not find this entire systematic theology in a single module. The only other copy of this resource in theWord format I know of is found on this site and it is broken up into three modules, which means the three combined occupy two times more book view space than one. Personally, I need all the extra space I can afford for other modules and suspect I am not alone. For this work I have used the more common type of format, because it is easier to create bookmarks, and with the hope of faster access to desired places within this work.

About the author:

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

About this work:

"The magnum opus of one of America's most prominent theologians offers an in-depth exploration of theology, anthropology, soteriology, and eschatology. This monumental work, now a standard for theological students, was written while Hodge served as a professor at Princeton, where he permanently influenced American Christianity as a teacher, preacher, and exegete."
