Gateway Seminary\u2019s mission is shaping leaders who expand God\u2019s kingdom around the world. As\u00a0a theological seminary committed to biblical inerrancy, we cherish the words of Paul to Timothy:\u00a0All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and\u00a0for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good\u00a0work (2 Timothy 3:16-17, ESV). The Gateway Journal of Theology<\/a><\/em> invites readers on a journey of\u00a0exploration and discovery; of theologians, their ideas, and their contributions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this inaugural\u00a0edition, the exploration covers well-known historic figures like Andrew Fuller<\/a> and lesser known\u00a0persons like Osgood Wheeler<\/a>, the first Baptist missionary to California. Readers are invited to\u00a0explore questions about how certain passages of scripture relate to others, to consider how to\u00a0serve unreached people groups, and to discover the history of Baptist work in the Mountain West\u00a0region<\/a> of the United States and Korea<\/a>. This exercise, however, is not an end in itself. The ultimate\u00a0purpose is to draw us closer to God\u2019s Word and to the Jesus Christ, who is Himself the focus of\u00a0divine revelation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of this exploration is not merely information, but transformation. To\u00a0discover truth pointing us to the glory of Christ and then to be increasingly conformed to His\u00a0image. The second president of Gateway Seminary, Dr. Benjamin Herring, served from 1946-1952. In his first presidential convocation titled \u201cThe Wheel of Progress\u201d, Herring said that sound\u00a0doctrine is like a wheel propelling the progress of the kingdom of God. The Gateway Journal\u00a0of Theology<\/a><\/em> is written to sharpen the minds of readers to both know Christ and to make Him\u00a0known, in fulfillment of the mission of Gateway Seminary.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
