For more than five years now, GlobeTheoLib (http://www.globethics.net/web/gtl), the Global Digital Library on Theology and Ecumenism and a joint project of Globethics.net and the World Council of Churches, has been offering a steadily growing wealth of free online resources to theological students, scholars and researchers worldwide. The library currently holds over two million documents for a user community of about 38,000 registered participants, mainly from the global South. You are invited to explore this free, community-driven resource.
GlobeTheoLib offers:
- free access to our library sources

- a free space for you on the Globethics.net platform, where you can exchange documents and best practices, and work on a particular research or publication project
