I've never seen anything like this place. I worked at a seminary for a number of years, and am currently researching for my PhD. I've spent a lot of time in theological libraries, and this is one of the best I've seen, especially not to be part of an academic institution.
The library contains thousands of books including the donated personal libraries of several scholars. The quiet atmosphere is perfect for study and the grounds are beautiful to stroll around in. Most remarkable of all (to me) are the lectures by some of the world's greatest biblical scholars --- completely free of charge! It's really a fantastic place!
The collection is exclusively theological though, so this is not the place to come if you're looking for any other kind of study.
Beautiful. A Heaven for books. And such a beautiful church. Such rest for sore eyes. Rest for a weary soul!
The library is free to use and enjoy. The books can't leave, but the place is so beautiful you will want to use them here anyway. It's the best atmosphere for serious study anywhere in the Houston area, as far as I'm concerned.
The interior of the library is a marvel in its own. The people there were helpful and it had a few other surprise delights; aside from the books. If I'm not mistaken, this library is privately owned and the owner is gracious enough to let us in and read his books, what a guy.
Thank you for being a valuable resource in our community. I was able to complete my PhD by reviewing many books and articles from your library.
