This book shows how European theological libraries tackled these challenges; how they survived by redefining their task, by participating in the renewal of scholarly librarianship, and by networking internationally. Since 1972, BETH, the Association of European Theological Libraries, has stimulated this process by enabling contacts among a growing number of national library associations all over Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction  Introduction  Einführung  Contributors    Part 1: Theological and Religious Libraries, Past and Present  1 Tolerating Theology Libraries in England: The Libraries of Anglicans and ‘Others’ since the English Reformation   Anna James    2 Theological Libraries in Oxford   Hannie Riley    3 World Mission to World Christianity: The Changing Identity of a Mission Library through a Century of Historical Change in Church and Society   Ruth MacLean    4 Historic Church-Libraries in the Evangelical-Lutheran Church in Thuringia   Hagen Jäger and Johannes Röder    5 The Sub-Library of Theology of the University Library of Würzburg Difficulties and Challenges in the Past and Future   Oliver Weinreich    6 Just Stewardship – A Self-Affirmative Inquiry into the Legacy of the Hungarian Ecclesiastical Libraries   Ágnes Bálint    7 The History of Development and the Challenges of the Present in the Theological Collection of the Ukrainian Catholic University Library   Ivanna Papa and Oleksandra Hladysh    8 Elements for a Sketch of the Italian Ecclesiastical Libraries   Stefano Maria Malaspina    9 Heritage Management in Monastery and Seminary Libraries in the Netherlands   Otto S.
