Submit your Research to the upgraded Curriculum Theologiae Library

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the MWI and in the cooperation with the Missio Library in Aachen and the Index Theologicus Project of the University Library in Tübingen, our open-access database Curriculum Theologiae has been in the last couple of months upgraded to a new system which better meets the standards of modern scientific information flow. The database and its content are offered and described now in four languages: English, French, German and Spanish. All articles published in it receive a DOI identifier and are indexed and retrieved by major search engines, Google Scholar, Index Theologicus and other scientific systems and indexers.

The goal of the server is to strengthen and support local seminaries, universities, and theological teaching institutes especially in Africa and Asia and make their theologies more visible to the international scholarly community. We hope many researchers from these parts of the world would use this tool and thus share their research with the international scholarly community. For more information about the database and how to submit please visit the Curriculum Theologiae website.
