This being a thankful time of year and all, I wanted to express my appreciation to the Theological Research Exchange Network (TREN) for placing an advertisement on my site. I have heard of this service before and thought I’d make everyone aware of it.
TREN “is a library of over 10,000 theological thesis/dissertation titles representing research from as many as 70 different institutions”. Dissertations are available from over 125 institutions and conference papers are available from the following national conferences:
Evangelical Theological Society (1,129 papers)
American Society of Church History (150 papers)
Society for Pentecostal Studies (75 papers)
North American Patristic Society (20 papers)
American Catholic Historical Association (14 papers)
TREN now offers an edocs service where you can find, purchase and download dissertations online. Many papers are offered for free too.
If you are doing theological research, or even if you are just looking for an elusive dissertation to help with some particular study of yours, the Theological Research Exchange Network will definitely be worth looking into.
To check out TREN, and also to help ensure their continued sponsorship of Fundamentally Reformed, please click their advertisement at the top of my sidebar (or the logo above). Thanks!
Blogging has been a tad slow lately. I’m spread out over several blogging ventures now. Re:Fundamentals.org, KJVOnlyDebate.com, and CrossFocusedReviews.com all need tweaking. I thought I’d share a post about a great new blogroll I recently joined. If you aren’t connected to fundamentalism or don’t want to join the Reforming Fundamentalist blog network I created, this blogroll might be more up your alley. Regardless the blogs on the network would make for great additions to your RSS reader.
Shane Vander Hart of Caffeinated Thoughts, started this blogroll. If you like Calvin, Coffee and Blogging, it might be just right for you! Click the image below to learn more.
Cross-posted from the group blog, Re-Fundamentals.org. This represents the latest version of what I started a long time ago with the Fundamental Reformers blogroll.
Please note, if you are listed as a member of the network, we would still ask that you please take the time to add the blog network to your blog sidebar.
The following is from the description of the blog network.
The Reforming Fundamentalists Blog Network is a listing of blogs maintained by people connected to the independent Fundamental Baptist (IFB) movement. The IFB movement is widespread and includes a vast assortment of various fundamentalist camps. Most of these could do with some reformation. Some of the problems members of the network are standing against include: man-centered pragmatism; domineering leadership; emotionally-high, doctrinally-shallow preaching; rules-based, performance-oriented sanctification; and a lack of charitableness to other Christian groups.
Members of the network are at various stages in their journey with the Lord. Some work for change from within the IFB movement. Others view themselves as historic fundamentalists who embrace the fundamentals of the faith but not necessarily the fightin’ fundy mindset.
These blogs should all have some content devoted to the fundamentalist problem, but by no stretch do we think that members must all be crusader-blogs. This blog network is intended to spread the word about the new movement of young fundamentalists who care about the Bible and want to right the fundamentalist ship. The network is also about getting to know one another and sharing our common experiences. Often seeing what someone else went through and how similar it was to your own experience, can have a healing affect. It can also sharpen our thinking.
My hope is that continued interaction among the members of the network will help us realize Eph. 4:13-15: “Until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ…. (ESV)”
