Seminars from this year's PCA General Assembly are now available, including this one given by Dr. Robbie Griggs, Covenant Seminary Associate Professor of Systematic Theology and Dean of Faculty.

In the face of widely diverging opinions about emerging technologies such as AI, how might church leaders get their bearings? This seminar focuses on a range of biblical texts and doctrines—including the doctrine of creation and theological anthropology—in order to help us understand technology as a development of the potential of God’s creation.

Why Was the Tabernacle So Intricate?

Many Bible readers may be tempted to skip six chapters of detail in Exodus about tabernacle construction. But careful attention to these chapters rewards us with a rich theology of who God is. At least three aspects of God’s character are displayed here.

Covenant Theological Seminary's 71st Convocation will take place in Rayburn Chapel on September 2, 2026. Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology Dr. Dan Doriani will deliver the Convocation address.

The Christian life is, among other things, a life of learning how to listen for and answer God’s calling. And after two decades of heeding God's call to preach the gospel across lines of division, Rev. Tony Myles (MDiv '06) is more convinced than ever that the gospel alone has the power to heal and restore.

We talked with Tony, a Covenant DMin student, for our most recent 𝘊𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘵 magazine student profile.
