Redcliffe is a Bible College with a specialism in preparing candidates for overseas mission.

The vast majority of our students are not based near the college all year round so being able to access them online is better. Plus, we get to share them with everyone else.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/missiology.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/mission-books-from-Redcliffe-College-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-123 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/missiology.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/mission-books-from-Redcliffe-College-2.jpg\" alt=\"Mission books from Redcliffe College\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tim asked if would like to take some of the books with a view to scanning those in the public domain and putting them online so that students around the world could access them for free. Naturally I accepted this wonderful\u00a0offer and so this week 1,000 books in 28 boxes landed on my doorstep.<\/p>\n<p>So now the important initial <a href=\"http:\/\/biblicalstudies.org.uk\/blog\/tutorial-how-to-do-an-author-search\/\" target=\"_blank\">task of working through the boxes to establish copyright<\/a> has begun. Those that are in copyright will go straight to <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.book-aid.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Book Aid<\/a><\/strong> where they will be sold to raise funds to send Christian Books to Africa. Public domain titles will go into short-term storage before being scanned and uploaded to the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/missiology.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Missiology.org.uk<\/a><\/strong> website. After this the scanned books will go to Book Aid if they are still in a saleable condition. Please subscribe to the Book Aid news updates if you are interested in buying some of them.<\/p>\n<p>I would like to thank Redcliffe College for this opportunity to make this wonderful and unique resource available. Below is a short video in which I share a peek into some of the boxes. \u00a0Remember to subscribe to my Missiology blog so that I can let you know when the books go on-line.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PHcdYJNCxbM?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>Progress is expected to be fairly slow, given my family and work commitments and may take up to five years to complete.
