Biblical Seminary began operation in 1971 as the Biblical School of Theology through the shared vision of Allan A. MacRae, a former president of Faith Theological Seminary, and Jack W. Murray, president of Bible Evangelism, Inc. and founder of the now-closed Clearwater Christian College. 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.

Frank A. James, III was inaugurated as Biblical's fourth president in 2013. James previously served as provost of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and president of Reformed Theological Seminary prior to that.
