After studying under John Murray at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, Dr. Strimple taught at Eastern Christian Schools in Paterson, New Jersey, Toronto Bible College (now Tyndale University College), and Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. He moved to California in 1979 to serve as the founding dean and first president of Westminster Seminary California.

Dr. Strimple retired in 2001 after 41 years of teaching and was honored as President Emeritus and Professor Emeritus of Systematic Theology. In 2003, an endowed Robert B. Strimple Chair of Systematic Theology was established at WSC.

Dr. Strimple has served the Orthodox Presbyterian Church on theological study committees and as moderator of the 50th anniversary General Assembly (1986). He has taught church leaders in China, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and England. His writings include The Modern Search for the Real Jesus, Three Views on the Millennium and Beyond (co-author), Studying the New Testament Today (contributor), Conflict: A Moment for Ministry (contributor); Christ the Lord (contributor), Roman Catholicism (contributor), The Coming Evangelical Crisis (contributor), Anselm: Aosta, Bec and Canterbury (contributor), and When Shall These Things Be? A Reformed Response to Hyper-Preterism (contributor). In 2004, a festschrift was published in his honor entitled The Pattern of Sound Doctrine: Systematic Theology at the Westminster Seminaries: Essays in Honor of Robert B. Strimple.

Dr. Strimple’s ministry has really been a joint ministry with Alice, whom he met in InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and married in 1955. Together they rejoice in four faithful children and twelve grandchildren.
