Perfectionism
Samuel G. Craig’s one-volume abridgment of Warfield’s two-volume Studies in Perfectionism, drawn from the roughly thousand pages of the Oxford Works; it keeps the long treatment of Oberlin perfectionism — Asa Mahan, Charles G. Finney, and the development of the Oberlin theology — alongside Warfield’s critique of the later Higher Life and Victorious Life movements.

- Notes
- One of the five Warfield anthologies Presbyterian and Reformed issued under Samuel G. Craig’s editorship between 1948 and 1958. Its ISBN, 978-0-87552-528-0, sits one number above that of Calvin and Augustine (catalogued separately) in the same P&R sequence. A full chapter-by-chapter table of contents was not independently confirmed.
Contents
- Oberlin Perfectionism, in four sections — the men and the beginnings, Mahan’s type of teaching, the development of the Oberlin doctrine, and the theology of Charles G. Finney
- Later chapters treat the "Higher Life" and Victorious Life movements; individual chapter titles not independently confirmed
