The Westminster Theological Journal (WTJ), published semiannually, is one of America’s premier conservative theological journals, specializing in all aspects of theology, church history, and biblical interpretation. The Journal’s inaugural issue appeared in 1938, making it one of America’s oldest continuous running theological journals. The Journal exists to further Reformed theological scholarship and through it to serve the ministers and members of Presbyterian and Reformed churches. Each issue includes a number of scholarly articles and book reviews by seminary faculty, scholars active in their fields, and graduate students.
The Journal was “founded upon the conviction that the Holy Scriptures are the word of God and the only infallible rule of faith and practice, and that the system of belief commonly designated the Reformed Faith is the purest and most consistent formulation and expression of the system of truth set forth in the Holy Scriptures” (WTJ, 1938, vol. 1, p.1). The Journal's editors are appointed by the faculty of Westminster Theological Seminary, and it has the purpose of publishing scholarly work that defends and advances understanding of the Bible's teaching and its implications for the larger world.
The Journal is currently edited for the faculty of Westminster Theological Seminary by Vern S. Poythress, Editor; Jeffrey K. Jue, Associate Editor; Lane G. Tipton, Book Review Editor; and Randall J. Pederson, Managing Editor.
Annual subscription rates are $35.00 for institutions, $20.00 for individuals, and $15.00 for students.

Paul Helm, B.B. Warfield's Path to Inerrancy: An Attempt to Correct Some Serious Misunderstandings
B. B. Warfield’s name will forever be linked to the exposition and defense of biblical inspiration, infallibility, and inerrancy….But around the man, and particularly around his defense of the infallibility and inerrancy of Scripture…there has grown up a number of serious misconceptions. These have to do with what inerrancy is, with the theological method that allegedly spawned it, with the doctrine of God that lies behind it, and with the place of inspired and inerrant Scripture in Warfield’s theological system. Unfortunately, despite various valiant efforts to set the record straight, these misconceptions are repeated and embellished until the real Warfield is lost from view and the “Warfield position” becomes a whipping boy. This article is a further attempt to make clear Warfield’s position, and particularly his method of arriving at it. + FULL ARTICLE
Robert Letham, Catholicity Global and Historical: Constantinople, Westminster, and the Church in the Twenty-First Century
“We believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church”: so runs the Niceno-Constantinopolitan creed, the one thread that holds together the tattered fragments of the Christian church. In this creed Constantinople I asserts four things: the unity of the church—it is one; its holiness—it belongs to God; its catholicity—the church is international, found throughout the world, and “teaches completely, without any omissions, all the doctrines which ought to be known to humanity”; and its apostolicity—the church is founded on the apostles and the apostolic teaching. + FULL ARTICLE
