"Benjamin Warfield"Bio:
Warfield entered Princeton University in 1868 and graduated in 1871 with high honors. Although Warfield studied mathematics and science in college, while traveling in Europe he decided to study theology, surprising even many of his closest friends. He entered Princeton Seminary in 1873, in order to train for ministry as a Presbyterian minister. He graduated in 1876.
In August 1876 he married Annie Pierce Kinkead. In that year he went with her to Germany, where he studied under Ernst Luthardt and Franz Delitzsch. During this stay in Germany Annie was struck by lightning and was paralyzed as a result. Benjamin for her until her death in 1915, in addition to his work as a theologian.
Warfield's view of evolution may appear unusual for a conservative of his day. He was willing to accept that Darwin's theory might be true, but believed that God guided the process of evolution, and was as such an evolutionary creationist.
