Online Book Resources
|
| 
| A good starting place for finding Biblical Studies books online is TynCat.com which provides automatic links to online versions at Google and Amazon.
|
|
| 
| Amazon provides “Search Inside” facilities for a very large number of in-print books. TynCat identifies the books which they put online (or are in the process of putting on line) by adding an picture of the book on the left, and clicks you straight to the online copy.
|

Books.Google gives access to the largest selection of out-of-print books and a surprising number of books which are in print. They are said to have scanned 7 million books! Don’t be put off by “Limited Preview” because this often means that 90% of the book is available, though there is likely to be a limit to how much you can read in one day. The missing 10% is critical for a novel, but for textbooks, the Google copy often saves a trip to a library.
