Tagbiography

Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield, faithful servant of Christ, and excellent theologian, was born on November 5th, 1851, in Lexington, Kentucky, USA. At that date, Lexington had only just over 8,000 people. The Breckinridge family was well-to-do, and so Benjamin and his brothers were given education in private schools. Here the young boys heard superb Christian doctrine. They had to memorise the excellent Puritan Westminster Catechism, along with the prooftexts from the Bible.
