Many of our Reformed Theological Seminary friends and supporters have probably been receiving the RTS 2024 Generosity Report that was just recently mailed out. It is a testimony to God’s generous provision and to the faithful, sacrificial giving of thousands of our partners. We give thanks for what the Lord has supplied, what he has enabled us to do, and indeed what he has given us the privilege to do for him, for the church, this last year. Below are just a few of the highlights. In 2024, RTS donors contributed $12.9 million to RTS, supporting 2,038 students, and enabling them to take…RTS 2024 Generosity Report

RTS Washington Professor of Church History, Dr. Chad Van Dixhoorn is perhaps the world’s leading expert on the work of the Westminster Assembly. His massive five-volume work The Minutes and Papers of the Westminster Assembly, 1643-1653 (Oxford University Press) is the most important historical exploration of the Assembly since the nineteenth century and surpasses everything that precedes it (including Mitchell and Struthers, Warfield, and Carruthers).
