A wonderful bonus and a blessing…

A couple months back, I approached colleagues and former students to raise money for the purchase of new Greek New Testaments for the first and incoming PhD class at the Mekane Yesus Seminary in Addis Ababa. These folks were so generous and over-subscribed the fund drive!

And their generosity overflows… A number of them agreed to redirect their gift to help the CSP Library sponsor a subscription for the seminary to ATLAS, an online resource from the American Theological Library Association, with full-text copies of articles from over four-hundred theological journals. This database is the premier research tool in the world for theological scholarship. Because of this blessing by these donors, the Mekane Yesus Seminary in Addis Ababa now has this resource available for its students. It want live today and I have already accessed it.

And the students in my classes this fall will be using it often in my classes!!!
