Welcome to This Special Forum Edition

This publication is offered for two important audiences: first, for the men and women whose hearts are pricked by the Spirit’s prodding as they wonder about theological education in their vocational exploration and discernment of seminary; second, for their wise friends—professors,
mentors and pastors– who offer them encouragement, guidance, and affirmation wrapped in prayer.
It is our humble privilege to present the 21st century promises and practices of Calvin Theological Seminary. We gratefully acknowledge the support of Lilly Endowment, Inc.
for underwriting this publication.
