Do you want to understand the Bible faithfully? Do you want to serve Christ and his church? If your answer is yes, then Westminster Seminary California (WSC) is an excellent place for you. Here you will find a community of faith and study, of fellowship and prayer. At WSC you will find an encouraging place to reflect on and prepare for your calling from Christ. We hope that this catalogue will help you get to know us better. As you look through it, you may want particularly to notice our commitments, our faculty, our programs, and our facilities. We are committed to the Gospel of Christ as taught by the inerrant Scriptures and as summarized in our Reformed confessions of faith. Our faculty is outstanding. Each member is an experienced pastor and an excellent teacher. They are active in their churches and committed to helping students in and out of the classroom. Their academic credentials are impressive. They all have doctoral degrees from fine institutions and are active in research and writing in their fields. WSC offers two primary programs of study. First is the three-year Master of Divinity program. This program is carefully designed to prepare men for the ordained pastoral ministry. Second is the two-year Master of Arts program. With concentrations in biblical, theological and historical theological studies, it encourages women and men to pursue their own interests in preparation for various kinds of service in Christ’s kingdom. The pictures in this catalogue will give you some introduction to the beauty FOR CHRIST, HIS GOSPEL, AND HIS CHURCH and fine facilities of our campus. However, the catalogue cannot convey the warmth and abilities of our students or the sense of community that we enjoy. We hope that you will visit us and experience for yourself the strengths of WSC. Our prayer is that the Lord will use this catalogue to help you know his call for your life and future service. May the Lord bless you richly. W.

Course Objectives 1. To base all of our theology of the Christology, Soteriology, and Eschatology in God’s revelation in Scripture. 2. To enable the student to better grasp related doctrines through familiarity with their exegetical and theological foundations, while also being acquainted with both relevant historical and contemporary discussions, so that they can clearly and confidently communicate them in preaching, teaching, and counseling. 3. To explore and appreciate the confessional expressions concerning these doctrines within the Reformed tradition, especially in the Westminster Standards.

MODERN REFORMATION We must not tell chiefly of people, of their faith as an attracting example and [home] of their sins as a repelling example, but we must tell of the revelation of the grace of God in Christ."1 Author of the remarkably useful four-volume set, Editor-in-Chief Promise and Deliverance (Paidea Press), S. G. De Graaf in the above quote Michael S. Horton sounds a note that seems to have all but vanished even in much of Reformed preaching and Bible-instruction these days.

In that spirit, I have chosen more of an "open letter" format over a more in-depth survey of perspectives.
