Christian Theology Reading Room
Most links below connect you to scanned, published books and articles made available by Google Books (often 75% of content). Importantly, Google Books allows you to search within a volume and also across volumes (rather than across the entire WWW). The Google Book Project also makes hard to find and expensive monographs readily accessible to students and researchers alike. This Reading Room collects those relevant materials on one page.
NB : For screen snapshots, bibliographic management and notetaking while reading, Zotero is highly recommended ("a free, easy-to-use Mozilla Firefox extension to help you collect, manage, and cite your research sources") -Arnold Neufeldt-Fast, PhD.
Theological Dictionaries and Encyclopedia
It is good to begin your research with one or two theological dictionaries or encyclopedia. You may then wish to explore the volumes in the second section below, or begin a specific search for full-text articles in Tyndale`s eJournal databases (available only to students and faculty). A search within Google Books may also yield good results.
