The Seminary's scholarly journal began publication in 1921 as the Gettysburg Seminary Bulletin. In 1998 the name was changed to Seminary Ridge Review. In the fall of 2009 it was relaunched to include the rubrics "Gettysburg Seminary Fine Arts" and "Poetry + Theology." The journal continues to publish theological articles, book reviews and texts from lectures and sermons. Seminary Ridge Review is published twice yearly. Single print issues are available for $ 9.00. Current issues may also be viewed below.
