What did Charles Hodge teach about theology as science?

John Owen says in the second chapter of his *Biblical Theology* (page 8 as published in English by SDG), > As the subject matter of theology is largely God Himself, it is as infinitely far removed from the methodology of science as the sciences themselves are from nonexistence. This is not a minor point to Owen, but is integral to his whole approach to theology. I was intrigued, then, when a friend of mine told me that Charles Hodge begins his systematic theology by asserting that theology *is* a science. Given that these two are both considered giants with Reformed theology, I was intrigued! I have not read any Hodge myself, but as someone with a background in linguistics and philosophy, I am not ready to assume that they meant the same thing when they said *science*, particularly since they were separated by several centuries. Is it true that Hodge taught that theology is a science? If so, did he explain what he means by *science*, and did he cite any other theologians as teaching this as well? What was his argument for this conclusion? (As a bonus, I'm also interested in who among the Old Princetonians agreed with him.)
