Dear Faculty,
I am pleased to announce the library has just added six IVP
Dictionary titles (see below) to our online reference site Credo Reference. Many faculty
place physical articles from the IVP collection on reserve in the library, and
we are constantly repairing or replacing the dictionaries due to high use and
damage/left of pages. By adding the electronic books, the library can:
·
Provide access to quality biblical studies
reference resources for our on-campus, DCP, and MASL faculty and
students,
·
Provide faculty with the opportunity to provide
permalinks in Moodle to specific articles (as well as within online course
reserves created by the library),
·
Provide 24/7 access to the materials,
·
Remove the need to gain copyright permissions to
reproduce articles (because we are using a permalink),
·
And, limit replacement and repair costs due to
theft and damage.
These benefits apply to all of our electronic materials, and
of course I encourage you to check out our Resources
page to see what is available.
If you have never signed into our catalog and would like
help, please contact me.
Blessings,
Gary Merriman
This
volume bridges the gap between scholars and those pastors, teachers, students
and interested readers who want thorough treatments of key topics in an
accessible and summary format. Articles cover each Gospel, major themes in the
Gospels, key episodes in the life of Jesus, significant background topics, as
well as issues and methods of interpretation.
The
Dictionary of New Testament Background takes full advantage of the flourishing
study of the Dead Sea Scrolls and offers individual articles focused on the
most important scrolls. In addition, the Dictionary encompasses the fullness of
second-temple Jewish writings, whether pseudepigraphic, rabbinic, parables,
proverbs, histories or inscriptions.
The
history of Israel forms the skeletal structure of the Old Testament.
Understanding this history and the biblical books that trace it is essential to
comprehending the Bible. The Dictionary of the Old Testament: Historical Books
is the only reference book focused exclusively on these biblical books and the
history of Israel.
The
Dictionary of the Old Testament: Pentateuch is designed to be your first stop
in the study and research of the Pentateuch, on which the rest of the Bible is
built.
A true
compendium of recent scholarship, the volume includes over 100 articles
covering all aspects of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, the twelve "minor
prophets" and Daniel.
Save
Over
ninety contributors, many of them experts in this literature, have contributed
to the Dictionary of the Old Testament: Wisdom, Poetry & Writings, which
offers nearly 150 articles covering all the important aspects of Job, Proverbs,
Ecclesiastes, Psalms, Song of Songs, Lamentations, Ruth and Esther.
