“fossilized” theology?

My thanks to Martin Downes for these excellent quotes:

A. A. Hodge once said to a Yale teacher who was making fun of the “fossilized” theology of Princeton:

“The trouble with you Yale theological professors is that you only teach your students to think…In Princeton we let God do the thinking and teach the students to believe.”

From David Calhoun’s wonderful book Princeton Seminary Volume 2: The Majestic Testimony, 1869-1929, p. 408-9

Peter serves as a pastor-teacher, at home and abroad, resourcing gospel-centred communities.
