Reason and Faith in the Theology of Charles Hodge: American Common Sense Realism

Owen Anderson is an Associate Professor in the School of Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies at Arizona State University, USA

"Anderson offers a good, clear description of Hodge's writings on reason, common sense, general revelation, the knowledge of God and of the self, and several other related topics. This is a fine piece of work that will bring clarity for many to the study of natural theology, especially, at Old Princeton." - Douglas A. Sweeney, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, USA
