What Bible translation should I use?
Dr. Thomas Keene
Dr. Thomas Keene, Professor of New Testament and Academic Dean at RTS Washington D.C. and New York City, offers wise and practical guidance on choosing a Bible translation. He encourages believers to consider the life of the local church, noting that using the same translation as your congregation strengthens conversations, worship, and study. While all major English translations are reliable, becoming familiar with the one your church uses is a great asset for faithful reading and growth.

Dr. John Fesko, Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology, explains the benefits of holding to the Westminster Standards today.

What are the best resources for studying systematic theology?
Dr. Michael Allen
Dr. Michael Allen, Professor of Systematic Theology, shares some of the best resources for studying systematic theology. He reminds us that while the task is weighty, God graciously provides what we need. Scripture stands above all as our greatest resource, and there is no substitute for reading the whole counsel of God. Alongside it, the creeds and confessions, the prayers and hymns of the church, and faithful theologians throughout history serve as wise guides, helping us think carefully, receive the church’s witness with humility, and grow in knowing and following Christ..
