Benjamin B. Warfield — Faith and Life: ‘Conferences’ in the Oratory of Princeton Seminary (New York: Longmans, Green, and Co., 1916).

Forty-one addresses given to the students at the Sunday afternoon conferences in the seminary’s Oratory, each on a text of Scripture: Elijah at Horeb and Old Testament religion, the wrath of man, childlikeness, the conviction and the outpouring of the Spirit, prayer, the witness of the Spirit to our sonship, the alien righteousness, peace with God, entire sanctification, the mystery of godliness, and God’s holiness and ours.

The book opens with this note, unheaded: “Those who are unfamiliar with the life of Princeton Theological Seminary and desire to learn something of the nature and the early history of the ‘Conferences’ held in the ‘Oratory’ of the Seminary may be referred to the Life of Archibald Alexander by his son, James W. Alexander, pp. 420 ff; the Life of Samuel Miller by his son, Samuel Miller, vol. ii, p. 400; and the Life of Charles Hodge by his son, A. A. Hodge, pp. 453 ff; with the last of which may be compared the Preface to Conference Addresses by Charles Hodge.”
