"As a writer, Brooks scatters stars with both his hands: he hath dust of gold; in his storehouse are all manner of precious stones.... One of these pithy extracts may assist our meditations for a whole day, and may open up some sweet passage of Scripture to our understandings; and perhaps some brief sentence may stick in the sinner's conscience, like an arrow from the bow of God."

This lecture from the eminent B. B. Warfield is as poignant as it is brief. Quickly he strikes to heart of the matter of how the theological student should approach their studies, that their studies of God should inflame their hearts toward him, not to be considered separate and merely academic. This is a necessary read for any formal student of theology in Bible college or in seminary.
