Twentieth Century Religious Thought – Trial ended 12 April 2013

Twentieth Century Religious Thought will be a multivolume, cross-searchable online collection that brings together the seminal works and archival materials related to key worldwide religious thinkers from the early 1900s until the turn of the 21st century.
It will cover the major strains and new directions in religious questioning that have often altered the very framework of given traditions. In addition to studying scholars’ ideas separately, researchers will be able to explore broader schools of thought to examine how different theories, denominations, faiths, and political and cultural groups have intersected, differed, and influenced one another. Central topics in Volume I will include Protestantism, Catholicism, Evangelicalism, Lutheranism, liberation theology, systematic theology, dialectical theology, and theocentric theology.

Foreign Office Files for India, Pakistan and Afghanistan, 1947-1980

“This collection will supplement, in a vital way, a period of India’s post-colonial history which is in many areas thinly documented within the existing official archives. As well as tracing the international connections between India, the Commonwealth and the wider world, this collection offers unique insights into political movements and cross-border tensions that were central to the modern state’s preoccupation with stability and national unification.” – Dr William Gould, University of Leeds
