This was interesting to me because I didn’t remember that the initial appointment was temporary:

Among the many things that occupied my attention this week were two days of board meetings at Philadelphia’s Westminster Theological Seminary.  This week the board voted to invite Dr. Peter Lillback to continue his presidency of the seminary.  Dr. Lillback had initially agreed to serve a three-year term, set to expire in 2008, but has agreed to continue providing leadership for the seminary going forward.

By the way, Peter Lillback wrote an excellent monograph on Calvin’s theology a few years ago. It was entitled, The Binding of God: Calvins Role in the Development of Covenant Theology.
