Briggs spent many years studying the bible and theology in general. In this book he summarizes the purpose of his study, his preferred methods, and key resources he used.

In this volume, Briggs includes several documents, letters, and maps that help readers understand the origin and early history of American Presbyterianism.

This volume contains Briggs’ opening lecture from the Union Theological Seminary in 1889. In this lecture, he describes a branch of history separate from the history of Israel and theological history. This branch is Biblical history and it is the history contained in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments.

Wither is the result of more than twenty years of study on the history of Puritan theology. Briggs discusses many theological questions and gives historical information on the Westminster Divines.

After years of research, study, and waiting, Briggs was able to access the (at the time) newly published Hebrew Lexicon to provide a comprehensive and complete analysis of the Hexateuch. This analysis includes commentary, investigation of traditional theories and hypotheses, as well as a timely examination of the theories of the late 19th century.

In this volume Briggs offers new insights into the life of Jesus Christ. He arranges the book in a chronological order and he also traces the Messianic idea through history from its origin.

The Ethical Teaching of Jesus is a compilation of lectures from Briggs’ time at the Union Theological Seminary.

This volume was originally prepared for the Presbyterian Minister’s Association of New York in 1907 and leads a discussion on the validity and importance of the virgin birth of Jesus. Briggs later revisited this work and his revisions are reflected in this version.
