Valiant for Truth - American Presbyterianism

In this episode Office Hours talks with President W. Robert Godfrey and D. G. Hart about their new book, Westminster Seminary California: A New Old School

Institutions all have histories, but few of them take a reflective moment to pause and remember how they were born. Such an exercise is not self-focused navel gazing but rather a recognition of all of the various people and great sacrifices that have been made to create, build, and seek to help others. In this case, WSC is very excited to announce the release of Westminster Seminary California: A New Old School

“What is the chief and highest end of man?” This is our ultimate question and should be the heartbeat of who we are, thinking of it daily. This is what it is all about as a Christian. To have a “chief end” means that we were made for something, that we have a main purpose in life. And we have a “highest end,” among the many goals and accomplishments of our lives.

Keep your eyes peeled (I know, as painful as that might be). There's a new book soon to be released later this summer: Westminster Seminary California--A New Old School, written by W. Robert Godfrey and D. G. Hart. This book has been in the works for a number of years and tells the history of the seminary. Recently there have been some who claim to know what the seminary is all about, but such purported "histories" reveal more about the critic than they do the seminary.

I am thankful for the invitation to contribute to the Valiant for Truth blog. In the series that follows, I will be offering Meditations on the Larger Catechism, which will include exposition and application of this wonderful statement of Christian teaching from our Reformed Protestant tradition.
