An original 1932 Westminster Theological Seminary promotional brochure, titled Our Seminary, prepared and distributed by the students of Westminster Seminary during the institution\'s formative years.
This beautifully illustrated brochure offers a fascinating snapshot of one of America\'s most influential Reformed seminaries only three years after its founding in 1929.
Among its highlights is an outstanding faculty and student group photograph identifying many of the early giants of twentieth-century Reformed theology, including:
• J. Gresham Machen
• Cornelius Van Til
• John Murray
• Oswald T. Allis
• Ned B. Stonehouse
• Allan A. MacRae
• Paul Woolley
• John H. McComb
• Robert Hall Glover
• Charles Ernest Scott
• Donald W. Strickler
The brochure discusses:
• Westminster Seminary\'s purpose
• Its doctrinal commitments
• Student life
• Faculty
• Costs of attendance
• Scholarships
• Campus location
• Academic standards
• Missionary vision
An especially interesting section notes that:
- Tuition was free.
- Board cost $6 per week.
- Annual expenses averaged approximately $225.
- Sixty-three students represented seventeen states and four countries.
This is an exceptional primary source documenting Westminster Seminary during the lifetime of J. Gresham Machen, just three years after the seminary\'s founding following the Princeton controversy.
William J. Jones Provenance
From the library of William J. Jones (Wheaton College, Class of 1925), later editor of the Sunday School Times, Princeton Theological Seminary alumnus, and friend and associate of numerous leading evangelical scholars including J. Gresham Machen and Oswald T. Allis.
Jones assembled an important working library documenting early Westminster Seminary and conservative Presbyterian history. His provenance adds an especially desirable association to this already significant historical piece.
Condition
Very good antique condition with light age toning, minor handling wear, and original folds as shown. Complete.
