THE WAY OF LIFE:
Christian Belief and Experience

Charles Hodge was born in an epidemic; his father and three of his brothers died of yellow fever in the 1790s. His best-known writings, including this marvellous book of 1841, do not seek to justify God, but to show how God justifies sinners.
He is best known for his Commentary on Romans and his Systematic Theology. The Way of Life (which he calls ‘this little book’) was written between these others, as a popular exposition of the gospel, to help the younger reader think and live in the way of Christ.
