University Religion Library
Together with the holdings at the University Main Library, the University Religion Library provides specialist literature and information on the subject areas of theology, religious studies and Jewish studies. The contents are based on the requirements of teaching and research at the University as well as that of the wider public with an interest in science. The collection primarily contains the most up-to-date literature from the last 20 years.
