Evangelical Quarterly Digitisation Project

Over the past few years I have placed online a table of contents and number of articles from the journal Evangelical Quarterly for which my site now serves as the official archive [click on Archives link]. I am now working more systematically to place on-line as many articles as possible from the 1960's up to 2005. In order to do this I will be attempting to contact the authors (or their literary executors if deceased). 

As you can imagine this is going to take some time, as hundreds of people will need to be traced. For that reason I am asking for your help. If know personally any author of an EQ article dating from this period please bring this project to their attention and request that they contact me at rob (at) biblicalstudies.org.uk - even if permission is to be refused. Many thanks.

Indian Journal of Theology now online up to Volume 40

The Indian Journal of Theology is now available online up to an including volume 40 in PDF. More recent issues will be added in the next few weeks. If anyone can help by providing printed copies of the missing earlier issues for scanning please let me now. This journal appears here by kind permission of the journal's editor, Dr K.P. Aleaz.

Baptist Quarterly now available online up to Volume 38

I am pleased to announce that the planned digitisation of The Baptist Quarterly is nearly complete with issues 1-38 now being available for download in PDF. The journal contains a wealth of rare material on Baptist history, missions and ecclesiology, and includes many articles on such notable figures as William Carey, John Bunyan, Charles H. Spurgeon and Richard Baxter. It is planned to place the journal online up to and including Volume 40.

Baptist Quarterly Vols. 1 - 6 now available on-line

Courtesy of the Baptist Historical Society the first six volumes of Baptist Quarterly are now available as Public Domain PDF files here. It is planned the place the entire series on-line - a project that will take me some time to complete. All issues prior to 1939 will be Public Domain and compressed files containing the complete issues are also provided so that they can be placed on library servers for easy access and distribution.

Baptist Review of Theology now available on-line

I happened to come across a request for two articles from the Baptist Review of Theology on the Association of British Theological and Philosophical Libraries (ABTAPL) list. I contacted Professor Stanley K. Fowler, Academic Dean of Heritage Seminary in Ontario and asked if he would consider allowing me to place the journal on-line. Professor Fowler not only agreed to do so, but kindly provided me with an almost complete set of the journal to scan. The series lacks only issue 3.1 - perhaps someone has a copy that they could loan me to finish the set? You can access the Table of Contents here.

The journal only ran between 1991 and 1998 and contains a number of interesting articles, including one in French by Don Carson.

Indian Journal of Theology to be placed on-line

I pleased be able to announce that I have been given permission to place on-line the Indian Journal of Theology. This is a rare journal here in the UK, but one that seems to contain much useful material. Progress on digitisation can be seen here.

The following issues are currently unavailable to me and I would be like to borrow or to purchase the missing volumes at a reasonable price:

Vols 1-5
8.2-3
9.1, 3-4
10.1-2
11.3
14.2-4
15.3-4
16.3-4

Bibliotheca Sacra Vols. 61-70 now on-line

Bibliotheca Sacra is now available on-line up to volume 70 (1913) by clicking here. I hope to complete the remaining Public Domain volumes (up to 1921) within the next week or so. My thanks to Google Books for their permission to use their scans.

June update of Website Developments

I can't believe that it's halfway though 2010 already - time for a brief update on developments on Theology on the Web.

Bibliotheca Sacra

The digitisation of the the Public Domain issues of Bibliotheca Sacra is now complete up to Volume 48. I have taken a break from this in order to complete other projects (see below).

Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society

JETS is now available again to non-members on its website. I have begun to add links to the articles already listed on my websites and have completed the table of contents here. 

Religion in Communist Lands

Quite by chance I was given an almost set of the journal Religion in Communist Lands. I have now received permission from the Keston Institute to place both this and its successor Religion, State & Society online. I hope to complete these by the end of 2010.

Australian Biblical Review

The digitisation of Australian Biblical Review is almost complete and I await permissions from individual authors to put their articles online. Articles will be mirrored on Biblicalstudies.org.uk and on the Fellowship for Biblical Studies websites. This first article (by Tim Bulkeley) is now online:

Tim Bulkeley, "Cohesion, Rhetorical Purpose and the Poetics of Coherence in Amos 3," Australian Biblical Review 47 (1999): 16–28.

Bibliotheca Sacra Vols. 31-40 now on-line

Bibliotheca Sacra Volumes 31-40 are now available in OCRed pdf format here. All these articles are in the Public Domain due to their age.

Bibliotheca Sacra Vols. 21-30 now on-line

Bibliotheca Sacra Volumes 21-30 are now available in OCRed pdf format here. All these articles are in the Public Domain due to their age.

Australian Biblical Review to be placed on-line

I am delighted to announce that executive Fellowship for Biblical Studies Inc. has granted me permission to place on-line articles from the Australian Biblical Review that are more than five years old. This is subject to individual permission of the authors of the articles. In addition they have agreed to send me almost a complete run of back-issues to work on.

Naturally I am overjoyed to see another journal being made available, not least because it will allow me to add more international balance to the material  host by including the works of Australian biblical scholars. I would like to ask your help in tracking down authors of the articles and making this information known to them, as obtaining appropriate copyright permission will be essential. An index of back issues is available here. I will produce my own table of contents in due course.

Bibliotheca Sacra Volumes 11 - 20 now online

Volumes 11-20 of Bibliotheca Sacra are now online in OCRed PDF format. Sadly a large number of articles scanned by Google were unusable. Still, they should be able to track the culprit down from his hand, which appeared clearly on several pages (not included in my collection)! I hope to fill the gaps myself in sue course.

Reformation & Revival Journal to be placed on-line

Following a very positive conversation via Facebook with the editor, Dr James H. Armstrong, it has been agreed that Reformation & Revival journal (1992-2005) will be made freely available via the Web. Dr Armstrong has kindly offered to supply me with a full set of back-issues and digitisation work will start in earnest when these arrive in a few weeks time.

In the meantime I have already completed Volume 4.1 and the contents are now available below in PDF. Each issue of Reformation & Revival focused on a specific theme aimed at "the intelligent layman" and one covers Spiritual Warfare.

Several of the articles here provide a clear biblical critique of the idea that Christians can be possessed (controlled, infested, attached, entered, inhabited, indwelt, bound or enslaved) by demons and concentrate mainly on the teaching of Neil T. Anderson in this area. However, the critiques are equally applicable to the works of Peter Horrobin and Ellel Ministries and are well-worth reading.

New Partnership with Tyndale House

Tyndale House in Cambridge is working on a project called STEP - "Scripture Tools for Every Pastor" - providing biblical resources for ministers in the Developing World in electronic formats. Recognising that this Project matches very closely the aims of my own websites I am now working in informal partnership with them.

The firstfruits of this will be the digitisation of the Theological Students Fellowship Bulletin (1951-1975 - aka TSF Bulletin) which became "Themelios" in 1975 (Themelios itself is now online on the Gospel Coalition website).

Tyndale House has provided me with the scanned images of the articles and it will be my task to compile a table of contents, obtain permission from the authors (who hold the rights), and convert the scans to OCRed PDFs.

I am very excited about this new development and look forward to getting to work on it. I will be producing a list of authors in due course and requesting your help in contacting them or their next of kin.

For more about the STEP Project see the Tyndale House Newsletter (article on page 3 in both issues linked below):

Table of Contents for Anvil journal now complete from 1984-2008

I have completed - with the help of All Nations College Library - a complete table of contents for the Anglican journal Anvil. It can be found on-line here.

Bulletin of the John Rylands Library Table of Contents Now On-line

With the kind assistance of the Librarian and volunteer staff at the Tyndale House Library in Cambridge I have now completed the table of contents for the Bulletin of the John Rylands Library, Manchester. The listing runs from the first issue in 1903 up to the end of 1992. Although this journal is still in production, after the early 1990's it ceased to include a significant amount of material relating to biblical studies. For this reason I stopped listing the contents at that point. Over the years the BJRL published many significant articles by such scholars as T.W. Manson, C.H. Dodd and F.F. Bruce.
