Kerux | Calvin Theological Seminary Student Scholarship

The Kerux — About

The Kerux was founded in 1966 serving as a printed news bulletin for the Calvin Seminary community. After serving as a bulletin for many decades, it developed further as an opinion magazine supported by the student senate, where students were able to express their opinion and share their ideas from the community.

The Kerux’s mission statement is the following: "The Kerux is a Calvin Theological Seminary student publication published for the purpose of promoting dialogue on issues pertaining to life at the seminary, discussions on various theological topics, and reflections on life as a student of the Word."

Since 2019, The Kerux became an exclusive online publication. You can read the blog all year long at kerux.calvinseminary.edu. The blog is designed to serve as communication between the student body of Calvin Seminary, and the wider community. The views and opinions expressed in the blog are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Calvin Theological Seminary.

Printed volumes (1-52/1966-2018) are located in the Hekman Library.
