The 21st-century church and its leaders face an array of theological, exegetical, and missional concerns. For the past twenty years, the Detroit Baptist Seminary Journal has addressed those concerns through original research and writing in a number of fields.
DBSJ scholars strive to:
• Strengthen your knowledge of historical orthodoxy.
• Guide you through pastoral practice.
• Keep you informed about contemporary issues that impact local church ministry.
Whether you’re a prospective student, seminarian, pastor, missionary, or scholar, we believe you’ll find something of value in every volume (published annually in the summer).
Check out the full archives below and discover why the DBSJ is highly respected in academic and ministry spheres around the world. You can search by title or simply click on the article of your choice.

We trust that the DBSJ will help build your love for God and his Word. Tolle Lege.
