Hodge is perhaps best known for his massive "Systematic Theology," which defined Calvinism for generations of American seminary students and continues in print to this day. Another noteworthy achievement was his editorship of the Seminary's theological journal, The Biblical Repertory and Princeton Review that he edited beginning in 1828.Charles Hodge graduated from the College of New Jersey (much later renamed Princeton University) in 1815 and continued with Seminary studies graduating in 1819. He was immediately appointed as Assistant Teacher of the Original Languages of Scripture. By 1922, he was Professor of Oriental and Biblical Literature and then chair of Didactic Theology from 1840 until his death June 19, 1878.
John Gresham Machen (1881-1937) was educated at Johns Hopkins University and Princeton Theological Seminary. After further study abroad he returned to Princeton as an instructor in New Testament. When he believed that Princeton was becoming too liberal, he and other conservatives began plans for a new seminary which would better adhere to the Westminster Standards. The new institution, known as Westminster Seminary opened in 1919 with Machen as president and professor of New Testament. Further differences with the Presbyterian denomination over a liberal attack on traditional missionary concepts led to his suspension from the ministry. This gave impetus to the formation of a new denomination, the Presbyterian Church of America, later renamed the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, with Machen as the first moderator.
Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield (1851-1921) is a theologian best known for his defense of the doctrine of inerrancy and a book he wrote concerning miracles. He made many scholarly contributions to biblical studies, christology, and perfectionism.

Ten large volumes of his collected writings were published in the 1920s, and two volumes of his shorter writings in the 1960s. All of those books plus volumes of his sermons are in print today and are read more widely than those articles were read during his life-time.
