History
Biblical Seminary began operation in 1971 as the Biblical School of Theology through the shared vision of Dr. Allan A. MacRae, a former president of Faith Theological Seminary, and Dr. Jack W. Murray, president of Bible Evangelism, Inc. . Dr. MacRae and his colleagues became the founding faculty and classes began meeting in Hatfield, Pennsylvania. In 1974 the seminary was granted authority by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to grant degrees and in 1978 the name was changed to Biblical Theological Seminary.
Dr. David G. Dunbar was inaugurated as Biblical's third president in 1986.
