Bibliotheca Sacra is a theological journal published by the evangelical Dallas Theological Seminary . The magazine has been published since 1843, making it the oldest ongoing theological journal in the United States .
history
The originally Calvinist- oriented magazine was founded in 1843 at the Union Theological Seminary in New York , but after three issues it moved to the Andover Theological Seminary in Andover (Massachusetts) (the year count does not begin until 1844). When Andover threatened to take a liberal course, the publication was transferred to Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio in 1884 , which gave the magazine an increasingly conservative profile in the decades that followed. In 1922 the Xenia Theological Seminary in St. Louis (later Pittsburgh ) took over the editing and strengthened the conservative orientation. With the move to the Dallas Theological Seminary (then Evangelical Theological College ) in Dallas , the magazine became the academic mouthpiece of dispensationalism from 1934 .
