Charles Hodge

Charles Hodge (1797–1878) war ein US-amerikanischer presbyterianischer Theologe, der fast sechs Jahrzehnte am Princeton Theological Seminary lehrte und die konservative Princeton-Theologie maßgeblich prägte. Er wurde durch sein Hauptwerk „Systematic Theology“ und die Verteidigung der biblischen Irrtumslosigkeit bekannt, geriet jedoch wegen seiner vermittelnden Haltung zur Sklaverei und seiner Ablehnung des radikalen Abolitionismus in anhaltende Kritik. Für heutige Bibelleser dient sein Werk als klassisches Nachschlagewerk einer streng bekenntnisgebundenen, reformierten Dogmatik.
