A.A. Hodge (1823-1886), son of Charles Hodge, first issued this, his best-known work, in 1860--following three years' missionary work in India and eleven in American pastorates. Enlarged and revised, it was reprinted in its final form in 1878 when the younger Hodge had reached his full maturity and entered upon his eight memorable years' teaching at Princeton. As a masterful condensation, not only of what had been taught at Princeton Seminary for more than sixty years but of the doctrinal positions of historic Christianity itself, the OUTLINES earned for the author the description given him by Dr. Shedd, 'the populariser of scientific theology'.
