Warfield on Agnosticsm

September 2, 2013 by Brian

"In effect, therefore, agnosticism impoverishes, and, in its application to religious truth, secularizes and to this degree degrades life. Felicitating itself on a peculiarly deep reverence for truth on the ground that it will admit into that category only what can make good its right to be so considered under the most stringent tests, it deprives itself of the enjoyment of this truth by leaving the category either entirely or in great part empty."

B. B. Warfield, “Agnosticism,” in Selected Shorter Writings, 1:36
