A generous finantial support from the Congregation of Grossmünster of Zürich and the Hilfswerk der Evangelischen Kirchen Schweiz (HEKS) Literaturdienst facilitated the aqcuisition of dozens of new theological books.
A new aqcuisition of important theological books
In January 2016 the Protestant Theological Institute and HEKS have signed an agreement for three years in which HEKS committed himself to finance 80% of the book acquisitions of the Library the other 20% being provided by the Institute itself. The first part of this three years project has been recently brought to accomplishment. The Library managed to buy several dozens of new books that will contribute to the development of the theological education and research in the Institute itself, as well as in this region of Europe, where few can afford the luxury of owing such book deposits essential though as they may be.
All books have been catalogued in the Library's Corvina database and are at the disposal of readers and researchers.
