If you love books and like to keep up with the latest publications but don’t have the time or money to buy and read them all for yourself, you won’t want to miss out on the Libronix version of the Review of Biblical Literature (RBL)—9 years worth of reviews from 1998-2006.
For only $59.95 you will get access to nearly 4,000 reviews of close to 3,000 of the most important publications of the last decade or so. Having multiple reviews for many of the most significant of these books will allow you to evaluate both sides of an issue. Many of these reviews come from seasoned scholars like Walter Brueggemann, D. A. Carson, James D. G. Dunn, Scot McKnight, and Stanley Porter, just to name a few.
Consulting reviews is a great way to keep up with various fields of study and get guidance about which books to purchase and which ones to pass by. If you want even more reviews, don’t forget about the Theological Journal Library and the Critical Review of Books in Religion.
By the way, the Review of Biblical Literature is actually just a continuation of the Critical Review of Books in Religion, which covered 1988-1998. Watch Mike talk about the benefits of having this resource in Libronix.
RBL was founded by the well-known Society of Biblical Literature (SBL). In case you missed it, the Journal of Biblical Literature (JBL), also from the Society of Biblical Literature, is available on Pre-Pub too.
