Warfield on Method A. The Relationship between Theology and Science Attempting to maintain what he considered to be a high view of science and of theology, Warfield insisted that theology is a science.
Warfield considered Darwin to be the first to set forth a plausible argument for the natural production of the biological world--namely, that if more creatures are born than can be sustained in any given environment, those which are least fitted to survive will be wiped out.
For Warfield, "the facts of homology and of the paleontological record suggest that the relation of animate forms to one another may be a genetic one." Accounting for the precise relation of these creatures must await direct evidence--evidence which Warfield was unable to discover in the literature of his day.

 B.B. Warfield's Appeal to Right Reason, by Paul K. Helseth
Whereas Warfield certainly affirmed that the primary mission of the Christian apologist 'is no less than to reason the world into acceptance of the "truth"',11 he nonetheless recognized that the 'rightness' of the apprehension that leads to the advancement of the kingdom is produced by the testimonium internum Spiritus Sancti.
Warfield maintained that the correct context for understanding the relationship between the objective and the subjective in religious epistemology is that provided by Augustine's ontology of 'theistic Intuitionalism' and Calvin's conception of the sensus deitatis.
Warfield maintained that the internal operation of the Spirit accomplishes its ordained end simply because it implants, or rather restores, 'a spiritual sense in the soul by which God is recognized in His Word'.61 This restoration of susceptibility to spiritual truth then has two certain effects.

 Humble greatness: the life of B B Warfield | Graham Heaps

Warfield was a student in Princeton Seminary between 1873 and 1876.
It was Warfield's confidence in the divine origin of all Scripture that made him such a careful exegete of the Bible, and gives his writings such an authority and insight today.

 "Calvin as a Theologian & Calvinism Today" by Benjamin B. Warfield
Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield (1851-1921) is widely recognized as the greatest English-speaking orthodox theologian of the early twentieth century, and perhaps of the whole century.
Warfield was a judicious and gracious preacher (“His words proceeded out of his mouth as if they walked on velvet” said F.L. Patton); but it was through his pen that he gave his lasting legacy to the church.
Always generous in his acknowledgment of God-given scholarly gifts and insights, Warfield was also devastating in his critical analysis of every misuse to which he saw such gifts being devoted.

From Alexander to Warfield, the Princeton theologians were gradually backed into a corner with regard to the verbal inspiration of Scripture.
On the whole, Archibald Alexander and Charles Hodge are preferable to Archibald Alexander Hodge and Warfield, in much the same way that the Synoptic Gospels are superior to the Pastoral Letters, or Calvin superior to Wollebius.
In reference to an 1881 pamphlet by A.A. Hodge and Warfield, Noll writes, "In this modern debate, those who (like-myself) are at least generally satisfied with the 1881 essay usually exonerate Hodge and Warfield of any damaging innovation, while those who are not, regard it as a serious misstep" p.

So for Warfield the question was not whether Christian theists could believe in limited or universal common ancestry or evolution, but whether they should, that is, whether the empirical evidence for it was compelling apart from materialistic blinders.
For most of his career, Warfield spoke of the three different ways in which God acts as “creation,” “mediate creation,” and “evolution.” The distinctions are complicated by the fact that he defined creation narrowly, to mean only creation ex nihilo.

Professor of theology at Princeton Theological Seminary from 1887 to 1921, this leading Calvinistic theologian is known for his precise scholarship, keen logic, and spiritual insight.
What most impresses the student of Warfield's writings--apart from his deeply religious spirit, his sense of complete dependence on God for all things including especially his sense of indebtedness as a lost sinner to His free grace--is the breadth of his learning and the exactness of his scholarship.
To do that it is necessary to direct attention to the fact that to a degree that has rarely if ever been equaled, at least in America, Warfield made the whole field of theology--exegetical, historical, doctrinal, polemical and apologetical--the object of thorough-going study.

In one particular section of the book, Warfield takes several examples of Christian "miracles" and gives examples of similar miracles being performed through other movements/factors, such as mesmerism, placebo effect, suggestion, and non-Christian religions.
Warfield also critiques several miracle "movements." For example, his critique of the Christian Science movement was extremely interesting and informative; for example, Warfield shows how Christian Science is not really Christian at all, but is really a form of pantheism.
If Warfield was still alive today he would have been very saddened by how far the modern church has dropped.
