This multimedia resource is ideal for individuals, confirmation classes, libraries, college and seminary students--in short, anyone with an interest in Luther and the Reformation.

Included are works like the 8 volume Acts and Monuments by John Foxe, The History of Protestantism by J. A. Wylie, The Protector and History of the Reformation in the 16th Century by J.H. Merle d'Aubinge. Plus over 50 resources from such authors as; John Knox, Andrew Miller, Peter Allix, David Benedict, William Jones, Henri Arnaud, and Jean Paul Perrin. there are over 50 books and 650+ graphic illustrations that depict the history of the Reformation era.

Scholars Library
Scholar’s Library is a comprehensive collection of texts and tools for serious Bible study using Greek, Hebrew, and English resources.

St. Thomas Aquinas
This CD-ROM contains the complete text of St. Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologica. The user will find that all inter-textual references are hyper linked as are all biblical references linked with the Revised Standard Version of the Bible: Catholic Edition. Some of the references have been modified to match the verse ordering of the current biblical translation.
The goal of the CD-ROM is to understand the Catholic faith as St. Thomas Aquinas did. While the Summa Theologica provides the strong doctrinal foundation, the Holy Bible and the Bible Commentary provide the necessary counter-balance of Divine Revelation.

Word Biblical Commentary
The culmination of more than fifteen years of research by a team of international scholars, Word Biblical Commentary covers the Old and New Testaments, taking into account textual, linguistic, structural, historical, and theological distinctions. More than 50 contributors, all of whom rank among the leading Christian scholars of the English-speaking world, wrote authoritatively on the portions of Scripture in which they specialize. This collection also includes an enviable scholar's array of Bible translations, and Greek and Hebrew resources for in-depth research.

Students are highly encouraged to utilize this resource.
