# Happy birthday to B.B. Warfield!

Born 168 years ago on this day in history, **November 5, 1851**, [Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield](/authors/b-b-warfield) would go on to become one of America’s greatest theologians, and one of the most prolific.

A 1974 bibliography compiled by John E. Meeter and Roger Nicole includes around 2,000 titles ascribed to him with many omitted for various reasons. We here at Log College Press, almost a century after Warfield’s death on February 16, 1921, are trying to keep up by adding as many works by Warfield as we can.

Smith (1923-2017), long-time stated clerk of the Presbyterian Church America.](https://assets.confessional.org/images/bb-warfield-bibliography.jpg)This is a copy of Warfield’s bibliography, once gifted by one of the compilers, Dr. Roger R.

There is enough reading there for many years of study, and we hope to keep growing because he was a treasure to the church, and his legacy is not to be forgotten.
