We are delighted to announce the appointment of Dr. David Barry as Professor of New Testament and Greek at Greenville Seminary, beginning in 2026. President Jonathan Master has had the privilege of knowing David and his wife for over ten years. David is a remarkable pastor-scholar, with a heart for students and a deep love for the Lord. He has done outstanding work in his field of New Testament studies and Greek Exegesis, and has faithfully served two congregations as a pastor. Most recently he served as Senior Pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Coral Springs, FL. We are grateful to the Lord for his willingness to serve alongside us at GPTS, and we look forward to welcoming David and his family into the Greenville community in the coming months.

Please for our two year old daughter Maggie. She has an unknown blood disorder and is currently in hospital undergoing testing. Possibilities are varying, from easily-treated to worst-case-scenario. Pray for clear tests and wisdom. Thanks.

We are building a coalition in the #pcaga to stand against error and evil, whether it be racist Christian Nationalism or wolves who abuse the flock.

It’s sad that none of us will remember anything that happened at GA. Tech has gotten out of control. #pcaga

GIVEAWAY! 📦🤝 Daniel Timmer's new NSBT volume just arrived. It's SO good. This is one of the best volumes I've read on a biblical-theological conception of "the nations." Follow my account and repost for a chance to win. These new hardbacks are so nice. B&H and Apollos upgraded the covers, paper, etc.

🔥EPIC GIVEAWAY🔥 Tuesday was the official release of my new book with @ivpacademic, Walking the Way of the Wise: A Biblical Theology of Wisdom. It's the latest addition to the ESBT series (edited by @DrGladd and @L_MMorales). To celebrate this week's launch of Walking the Way of the Wise, IVP is giving away--again!--an ENTIRE SET of the ESBT series. The series is magnificent, and I want it to be yours! To enter, simply repost this announcement and tag a friend. While I have you here, follow this account and check out my Biblical Theology newsletter (see profile), where I write regularly about the Bible and theology. The winner of the giveaway will be announced this Saturday, June 7th. I hope you'll keep my new book on your radar for yourself and others. If you'd like to support the launch of the book, a simple post online can have a great ripple effect! And reviews on major book sites are super helpful. Join me in thinking about what it means to walk wisely with God, who has made us for His glory and who upholds us on the narrow way that leads to life.

So ridiculous.
Might I humbly suggest Papyrus instead of this monstrosity.

There is still at least one seminary out there focused on training ministers—Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Modeled after old Princeton, GPTS requires its professors to have 5 years of experience as a pastor.
Seminaries were created to train ministers, not provide graduate theological education. The church has suffered because her seminaries have confused these things.
