Westminster Theological Seminary Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

Westminster Theological Seminary is a Presbyterian and Reformed Christian graduate educational institution with campuses located in Glenside, Pennsylvania (a suburb of Philadelphia), and Dallas, Texas, and programs of study in New York City, and London. The seminary currently offer Master of Divinity, Master of Arts in Religion, Master of Arts, Master of Theology, Doctor of Philosophy, and Doctor of Ministry degrees. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has called Westminster Theological Seminary “a bastion of theological conservatism” that was “founded by fundamentalist J. However, fundamentalism is a loaded term whose meaning has changed significantly and become a political pejorative since Machen’s day (see Fundamentalist Christianity), and the seminary has an intellectual history that distinguishes it from much of modern-day fundamentalist Christianity (for instance, it allows for non-literal views of the Biblical creation account such as erstwhile professor Meredith Kline’s framework theory, and its professors published Theonomy: A Reformed Critique in which they explicitly reject theonomy and Christian Reconstructionism).
