Tyndale House: Great Resources For Writing Biblical Studies Dissertations

Dear Fellow Scholars, Scholars in Training, and Wanne-Be Scholars:

I just wanted to pass along a great resource (The Tyndale House) for would be and current Biblical Studies dissertation writers.

The Tyndale House itself, is set within the buildings of Cambridge University and is a major Biblical Studies research center. Its world-class library contains specialist material on the language, history, culture and meaning of the Bible.

They have many excellent online resources and references, a friendly and expert staff to help with research inquiries, plus many articles on the current trends in Biblical Studies.  (For example, they recently published their response to the Jesus Wife text).

There is also a cool little toolbar (Firefox Add-In), which places some of their resources at your fingertips (or your browser’s fingertips.)

Finally, if you sign up for their e-mail list, they will provide some very excellent updates and reminders (resources, articles) that keep you up-to-date on the biblical studies arena.

Their most recent update highlighted:

1. The Kirby Laing Institute for Christian Ethics conference on same-sex marriage.
2. Their open house to display historical and rare bibles, some on loan from Cambridge University.
3. Their preview of their Scripture Tools for Every Person (STEP) software program, which aims to make high quality bible research tools available for the average person.

This is definitely one resource page that you should bookmark.

Til next time,

Happy researching!
