Edited for the faculty of the seminary, the Westminster Theological Journal was first published in November 1938, “going against the current of the times,” in that it was “founded upon the conviction that the Holy Scriptures are the word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice…” The two editors were Paul Woolley and John Murray, and the issue contained a preface, “To Our Readers,” one article, “Jesus in the Hands of a Barthian,” by Ned Stonehouse, and four book reviews. It was published at a time when periodicals were in decline, and the world at large lived with the specter of a new world war.
For over eighty years, the journal has continued the legacy set by the founding editors. As such, the WTJ stands out as one of America’s oldest and continuous running theological journals. Its original mandate to uphold historic Christianity against modern tides is as relevant and true today as it was in 1938. While many journals have come and gone since our first publication, it is our hope that WTJ will continue to thrive in the digital age and be a “must have” theological journal for a new generation of readers.
With this view in mind, WTJ is making a selection of our content available for reading at no cost. We will add to this repository from time to time.
