Degree Programs

The Seal of the King

The Seal of the King

The prophecy anticipates Jesus, born King of the Jews, whose star drew magi from the East to Bethlehem (Matt. 2:1–11). Yet Balaam’s star and scepter were not the Bible’s first signs of the coming King. Those roots reach back into Genesis.

The Lament of the King

The Lament of the King

Most Christians are familiar with Jesus’s famous cry of dereliction from the cross. Many are aware that these words, cried aloud in Aramaic, are drawn directly from the first line of Psalm 22. Less realize how thoroughly Matthew’s account of the crucifixion is tied to the psalm or the ways in which his gospel is shaped by lament.

From the Calf to the Cross

From the Calf to the Cross

A great concern in the church today pertains to the question of whether the God of the Old Testament differs from the God of the New Testament:  whether the grace and mercy of God are manifest in Jesus, while judgment and wrath are manifest in Yahweh.

We are prayerfully reimagining the seminary in a way that allows us to expand our reach and better fulfill our mission for God’s glory. Learn about initiatives for our residential, online, and urban programs—and more! (Updated September 2026)
