TE 6 Course at a Glance

Course Description

Excellence in Theological Writing exists to train students in the what and how of theological writing so that they can be properly assessed by Westminster faculty and can continue after seminary in proclaiming the whole counsel of God to a world that desperately needs to hear and read it. After laying a foundation in the trinitarian nature of writing, we work through assignments in each of the theological genres (apologetics, systematics, biblical studies, church history, and pastoral theology). In essence, part of your theological training is to become a wordsmith: someone who thinks carefully about words—not only which ones to choose, but how to organize them, how to use them to focus a reader’s attention, and how to inspire and motivate readers for the glory of God and the advancement of his kingdom.
