The Cummings Library is a specialized collection. 60% of our material focuses on religious studies and Christianity in particular. You will also be able to find books on philosophy, program planning, counseling, other related fields and even some fiction, but mainly material on Bible study, Christian living, theology, pastoral and missionary practice, church history, and comparative religion.

The Cummings Library also strives to maintain a historical depth to the religious studies collection; acquiring old and out-of-print material along with recent publications. This is to your advantage, for in the area of religious thought there really is "nothing new under the sun". An ancient text might help you wrestle with a modern dilemma.

The collection currently contains 23,000+ volumes and 160 periodical subscriptions. The current periodical collection includes 15 professional, 60 scholarly and 85 popular titles.
