Posting, modern or not...

Winter Colloquy's coming, and you may want to bone up on your invited presenters ahead of time.

• There are quite a few full text articles of Merold Westphal available in our ATLA databases (now on the Ebsco platform); I'd submit his 2003 piece for the Christian Century, 'Blindspots: Christianity and Postmodern Culture' will give you an advanced taste of his substance and style.
• Similarly, B. Keith Putt surely scores a birdie with 'Risking love and the divine "perhaps:"postmodern poetics of a vulnerable God' in 2007's Summer issue of Perspectives in Religious Studies.
• You'll find more articles by both, and the ebook Modernity and its Discontents by Westphal, full text in Questia.

EBSCO Available

Carroll students and stakeholders, Ebsco is now a clickable button in the NexLearn online resources (with pride of place at the head of the list- it is, after all, our home for religious-studies specialized article citations, including full text). You can use it for ATLA Religion, ATLAS, and our newly acquired Old Testament Abstracts and New Testament Abstracts. This is ancillary to our purpose vis a vis Googlebooks, but it's kept my attention, and I figured you'd want to know why I'd been out for a bit...

Keep up on education

More full view Google Ebooks added in the "Foundations of Education" area of concentration (Faith and Heritage cluster, or FHFND for short) at BHCTILibraryToo today. Zwingli's short work on Christian education notable...

Calvin Miller knows Art

You may already know from the Carroll Homepage that Calvin Miller is to be our featured speaker at the Spring Colloquy next month; you might even know the Colloquy topic will be "Christianity and Literature."

• Does "Art" sound like an awfully broad topic to you? Go wide with Oxford Reference, or go deep by exploring the Cambridge Literary Histories in NexLearn's Cambridge Histories Online (CHO).
  
• But what will the author of of a host of writings (like Spirit, Word and Story) say on this topic? Perhaps you can get a inkling reading some of his book reviews full text in OCLC FirstSearch via NexLearn; search for "Miller, Calvin" as a author, and read his take on Buechner's Son of Laughter, Hughes' Satan's Whispers, and Bailey and Blevin's Dramatic Monologues; Or consider his own exposition of "Genesis 1:26" from the journal Review and Expositor. Also, see what other reviewers and writers have to say about works by Dr. Miller.

And a little more Education...

Some weeks are crazier than others, but in each one I try to add more Google books relevant to Carroll Disciplines to specially-designated Google Libraries. We have been chugging slowly uphill in the "Foundations of Education" area of concentration (also called MFFND here at BHCTI) in our BHCTILibraryToo account (affectionately referred to as "Too") for some time now, and will for some time to come. Click the link to review our progress!

A bit more yet

We've added a few more titles in Foundations of Education to 'Too today; just some more steps on the road!

Keep on keeping on

A handful of new books to add to 'Too today; no big breakthrough numbers, but just a steady flow...
