However, I am very aware through the feedback I receive that students at every level need access to the latest scholarship in this field. Many have great difficulty in accessing a library where they can borrow the latest books. Over the years I have looked at paid services that might compliment Theology on the Web&#8217;s aim of &#8220;making biblical scholarship accessible&#8221; by providing access at a reasonable cost to the latest material. Having looked at what is currently available, I wanted to introduce my readers to Perlego:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Meet Perlego, the online university library\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kZdDKlOQzkA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the video above says, a subscription to Perlego gives access to over 800,000 academic textbooks, but it is worth pointing out that there are over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perlego.com\/browse\/theology-religion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\"><strong>30,000 English language theology titles<\/strong><\/a>, plus a further 20,000 in Italian, Spanish French and German. Perhaps the best way to demonstrate the usefulness of  Perlego is to do a simple search like &#8220;commentary romans&#8221;. The screenshot below shows just some of the results, including many of the most recent commentaries. You can find my more extensive list of Romans commentaries, curated using Perlego, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/perlego.pxf.io\/Vyvedk\">here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/biblicalstudies.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/romans.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"655\" src=\"https:\/\/biblicalstudies.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/romans-1024x655.jpg\" alt=\"Commentaries on Romans\" class=\"wp-image-5861\" srcset=\"https:\/\/biblicalstudies.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/romans-1024x655.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/biblicalstudies.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/romans-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/biblicalstudies.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/romans-768x491.jpg 768w, https:\/\/biblicalstudies.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/romans.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Some of the commentaries on Romans available on Perlego<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, a search for &#8220;Biblical hermeneutics&#8221; yields some very useful titles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/biblicalstudies.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/hermeneutics.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/biblicalstudies.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/hermeneutics-1024x658.jpg\" alt=\"Biblical hermeneutics\" class=\"wp-image-5862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/biblicalstudies.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/hermeneutics-1024x658.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/biblicalstudies.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/hermeneutics-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/biblicalstudies.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/hermeneutics-768x493.jpg 768w, https:\/\/biblicalstudies.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/hermeneutics.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Some of the results from a search on Perlego for books on &#8220;Biblical hermeneutics&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have used Perlego myself for over a year now and have found it incredibly useful and worthwhile.
