Seminary names new Theology Today editor

By: David Campbell
   Princeton Theological Seminary has appointed Professor James F. Kay as editor of the journal Theology Today under a new partnership between the journal and Westminster John Knox Press.
   Seminary Professor Gordon Mikoski will serve as book editor, the seminary said.
   Professor Kay is the Joe R. Engle Professor of Homiletics and Liturgics at the seminary. He was editor of the Princeton Seminary Bulletin from 1994 to 2000, and is author of "Christus Praesens: A Reconsideration of Rudolf Bultmann’s Christology."
   Professor Kay succeeds editors Professor Patrick D. Miller, professor emeritus of Old Testament theology at the seminary, and Professor Ellen Charry, associate professor of systematic theology there.
   Professor Mikoski is assistant professor of Christian education at the seminary and an ordained minister of the Presbyterian Church USA. He succeeds Professor Clifton Black, professor of biblical theology at the seminary.
   Under the terms of the new partnership with Westminster John Knox Press, the seminary will retain editorial control of the journal with the press taking over distribution, production and financial operations. The change takes effect with the April 2006 issue.
   Theology Today is a quarterly ecumenical journal of Christian theology. Founded by the seminary in 1944, it publishes articles on a range of classical and contemporary issues in Christian theology by renowned theologians.
   Westminster John Knox Press is the trade and publishing imprint of the Presbyterian Publishing Corp.
