St. Andrews Theological College and Seminary Online Library

St Andrew’s houses 3000 volumes in the physical library at the seminary offices in Thomasville, NC. These books are being catalogued, labeled, and entered into a database that will one day be available online through the library page for students to browse and check out. In addition to the physical volumes, St. Andrew’s has set up this Library Page, which provides links to many freely available scholarly online resources. The resources you will find on this page should be of great assistance to you as you conduct research for classes.
