Book excerpt: This is a Journal comprising papers written by the lecturers in the Free Church of Scotland (Continuing) Seminary located at Westhill Church, Inverness, Scotland.

The purpose of the Seminary is to maintain the principles of the Reformation faith in doctrine, worship, church government and discipline. The Journal is intended to provide stimulating and challenging material which will advance a greater understanding of the Biblical evangelical faith and encourage the practice of godliness. It is aimed at students in theology, preachers and pastors as well as interested lay persons. The desire is for faithfulness to Jesus Christ in every area of biblical, theological and historical studies and church life today.
