To all WTS students: There will be a dedication service at 10:30 a.m on Monday, October 22, for the new “Conversation Area” on the Machen Hall courtyard porch. This area has been beautifully furnished by funds raised by the Student Association in the memory of the late, beloved Westminster professor of Old Testament J. Alan [...]

Jeff Fuller of the Reformed Evangelist blog knew he possessed two things anyone in ministry would love to have at the same time: seekers hungry for the Gospel and many people willing to help get it to them. All he had to do was find a way to bring those two together. In Jeff’s case, [...]

Taylor Marshall on Canterbury Tales Blog has a quick review of Pope Benedict XVI’s new book Jesus of Nazareth.

The debate was between child actor Kirk Cameron and evangelist Ray Comfort on the one side [...]

Carl Trueman confirms on Reformation21 that the rumors circulating around the web for the past several days are true: Francis J. Beckwith, president of the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS), has returned to the Roman Catholic Church (in which he was raised as a child). Dr. Trueman expresses respect for Beckwith’s integrity, but also gives his [...]
