ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ (in Christ Jesus)

Justin Taylor has a fine post Remembering B. B. Warfield, noting his 158th birthday.

If you’re not familiar with his writings, then you’re missing out on a brilliant mind and passionate heart for Christ.

My comment there:

“Thank you for this! I will never forget sitting on Waikiki beach while traveling on biz to Hawaii more than 25 years ago reading through The Inspiration and Authority of the Bible and Biblical and Theological Studies being deeply moved by the mind and heart of Warfield. Those teary moments on the beauty of that beach will forever be remembered as I was stricken by the lack of interest in where I was because of the richness of Warfield’s writings. May he not be forgotten!

Dare I quote from his “Imputation” article (from Biblical and Theological Studies, pp. 263-264)?”

That the sin of Adam was so set to the account of his descendants that they have actually shared in the penalty which was threatened to it; and that the sins of His people were so set to the account of our Lord that He bore them in His own body on the tree, and the merits are so set to their account that by His stripes they are healed, the entirety of historical orthodox Christianity unites in affirming.
