“I’ve benefited from the Westminster Theological Journal for years. I subscribe to more than a dozen journals, and WTJ is the only one I read virtually cover to cover every issue. If someone was going to subscribe to only one theological journal, I’d recommend WTJ.” ”

Kevin DeYoung

Senior Pastor, Christ Covenant Church, Matthews, North Carolina; Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte

“The Journal originated from the early faculty’s conviction that it would have a valuable role in the Seminary’s mission to foster Reformed theology faithful to Scripture. The successful maintenance of that conviction in the decades since has made the Journal one of the premier theological periodicals it is today.”

Richard B. Gaffin, Jr.

Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology, Emeritus, Westminster Theological Seminary

“We are called by God to love him, inter alia, with all our mind. In this respect, the cultivation of serious thought on an academic level is vital for the good of the church in proclaiming and defending the gospel. The WTJ has played a significant part in this throughout its life.”

Robert Letham

Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology at Union School of Theology

“The Reformed faith has always emphasized the church’s calling to love God with all our mind and soul. Therefore, part of our worship consists of rigorous reflection on biblical interpretation, doctrinal formulation, and practical application, informed by the great writings of Christian history. For eighty-five years, the Westminster Theological Journal has been at the forefront of promoting scriptural orthodoxy and intelligent piety—the two requisites of any good seminary and journal, as John Murray once said. I hope and pray that Westminster Seminary (my alma mater to whom I owe a huge debt of gratitude) and its flagship journal of Reformed orthodoxy will continue to do so for many years to come!”
