However, in spite of its rich and significant role and history, the topic is in many parts of the world a poorly researched area. In this first volume, we have attempted to offer a general and religiously balanced approach, and this will be our goal also in the future volumes. But because of a lack of published comparative, cross-country and intercultural research, and contacts with local experts in some parts of the world, we could not offer at this time a more global contribution. This is the reason for example why we are missing contributions from the Middle East and some parts of Asia in this volume. I hope the published texts in this volume will inspire more comparative research and connections in these parts of the world, so in the future, we can have a more complete new edition."$c-- Preface. 606 $aTheological libraries 606 $aComparative librarianship 615 0$aTheological libraries. 615 0$aComparative librarianship. 676 $a027.67 702 $aC?uric?$b Matina 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910729791103321 996 $aIntroduction to Theological Libraries$93392649 997 $aUNINA
