Princeton Theological Seminary Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

Princeton Theological Seminary is a theological seminary located in the Borough of Princeton, New Jersey in the United States. Like other elite theological institutions, such as Duke Divinity School and Candler School of Theology, Princeton Theological Seminary has roots in a distinctive denominational heritage. The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church established The Theological Seminary at Princeton, New Jersey in 1812, with the support of the directors of the nearby College of New Jersey (now Princeton University), as the first graduate theological school in the United States. The Seminary remains an institution of the Presbyterian Church (USA), being the largest of the ten theological seminaries affiliated with the 2.5-million member denomination. While Princeton Theological Seminary and Princeton University are separate entities, there is reciprocity for use of certain facilities such as the libraries, as well as cross enrollment in classes. The Principals The Presidents The Seminary’s libraries comprise the largest theological collection in the United States and second in the world, behind only the Vatican Library in Rome. The Center for Barth Studies was established at Princeton Seminary in 1997 and is administered by a board of seminary faculty. The Karl Barth Research Collection, part of Special Collections in the Princeton Theological Seminary Libraries, supports the scholarly activities of the Center for Barth Studies. In 1978 Princeton Theological Seminary’s Board of Trustees established the Center as an independent, ecumenical institution for advanced theological research, “to inquire into the relationship between theological disciplines, ...both human and natural sciences, to inquire into the relationship between diverse religious traditions . Today, the Center has its own board, funding, mission and staff, yet maintains close relations with Princeton Theological Seminary.
