Diversification Fund Recent Acquisitions

Welcome to the CTF Library Diversification Fund Updates

Programmes and courses across the CTF are currently working on diversifying our bibliographies and reading lists to include a wider spectrum of authors and to address under-representation in relation to ethnicity, culture and gender identity. We are also working on enhancing our library holdings in contemporary theological issues including (but not restricted to) decolonisation/post-colonialism; eco-theology and climate change; disability studies; gender studies and Christianity in the Global South. With the generous support of the Jerusalem Trust, the Library has established a Diversification Fund dedicated to addressing these needs.

On this page you can keep up to date with the latest ebooks we have acquired for the Diversification Fund and browse through our new holdings. The Fund is built on suggestions from CTF members - if there are key texts or other strands of theological research that you feel are under-represented in our catalogues, get in touch library@theofed.cam.ac.uk.
