Theology on the Web at 25: Achievement #3: Digitising Journals from Around the Globe

It has always been my intention when developing Theology on the Web that the content it hosts would represent the best of International theology, rather than just reflect just the perspective of British and American theologians with which I was familiar. Over the last 25 years I have sought out hard-to-find journals from around the World, many of which had never been digitised before and were in danger of being forgotten. In one case, that of the Caribbean Journal of Evangelical Theology, the process of digitisation resulted in a revival of its publication as an online journal!

The featured international journals are listed below. In some cases I have provided a sample of some of the more provocative articles, many covering subjects that are rarely touched on in the western journals I am aware of.
