Princeton Theological Seminary Digital Common Project

You may already know about the Princeton Theological Seminary Digital Common project. The huge collection is downloadable in pdf and kindle format. Congratulations and thanks to President Iain Torrance of PTSEM and the exemplary sharing of resources.

See http://diglib.ptsem.edu/?action=search&qtext=collection%3a%22theocom%22.

Accessibility has been a main concern for DABOH for many years. We discussed this briefly at Balaton in 2008, and hope to devote some time in Toronto to think through this matter in more structural ways, with Dr Dietrich Werner's input.

With kindest wishes in Christ,


Yours,


Michael
