September Acquisitions

The September acquisitions list was recently posted on our website, and here are a couple highlights:

• Mastering APA style: student’s workbook and training guide by the American Psychological Association.
• Africa Bible commentary — A great way to add some non-Western perspective to your exegetical research.
• Encyclopedia of the Bible and its reception — This is going to be a huge work, but only the first couple volumes are currently available.
• Jeremiah: a commentary by Leslie C. Allen — This is probably going to end up on our revised commentary guide once we work our way to Jeremiah.
• A reader’s guide to Calvin’s Institutes by Anthony N.S. Lane.

Be sure to check out the full list.

April Acquisitions

The April acquisitions list has been posted on our main site.

You may notice titles to help support our new degree programs such as the M.A. in Religion & Cultures (MARC). In addition, material on Mormonism continues to appear as we work through the thousands of items from the collection of the late Rev. Wesley Walters—not a few being unique and monetarily valuable. Although the Buswell Library is in many ways a curriculum-supporting “working collection” rather than a research library, the donation to us of the Walters Collection represents a special opportunity to keep items nobody else has and build a unique research resource enhancing Buswell Library’s wider relevance.
