PREFACEThis project began as a simple question put to a class of first-year students:

“What do you think should be included in the curriculum of this Seminary to which you have come to study?” Responses were listed on a blackboard and the classification was born. Months later, after much scanning of the “contents” pages of theological dictionaries, handbooks, journals and seminary syllabi, a fuller list was compiled of items identified as important or worth including.

Then came the problem of arranging the growing list of subjects. The classical four-fold grouping of BIBLE, DOCTRINE, HISTORY and PASTORALIA, is generally considered today to lack a convincing rationale. Instead a way was sought to arrange the subject matter in some kind of logical order that would bring everything together as a related whole. (Note was taken of the current endeavour to re-discover the unity of “theologia” as the true basis for Seminary studies.)

In the end, there emerged eight fields of theological concern, each relating to the Christian Faith in some direct way, with a ninth section providing a catchall for other areas of study not directly related to Theology.

Later reflection suggested that, if it were possible to arrange the subjects within each field in such a way that each subject led naturally to the next, a progressive journey through the entire world of theological concern might be made with the minimum of jumping from one field to another.

Since most theological study is supported by the reading of theological books, the classification created for its curriculum ideally should be mirrored in the layout of a Seminary Library. Where this is so two advantages become apparent:

1. Students are able to find books on a particular subject more quickly because they are looking along shelves that follow an easily understood progression.

2. For the Librarian cataloguing new accessions, the nine-fold division of fields retains the advantages of Dewey’s decimal classification system without restricting the theological class to the 200 range of numbers. (Note: Periodicals and comprehensive series of books can be put under 000 by title/date/author.)

In a few fields, notably those to do with CONTEXT, COMMUNICATION, and CHURCH HISTORY, detail is omitted. Also the emphasis given to a particular subject may not seem applicable to every situation. This is because local context will vary and generalisations are impossible. In any case any listing is bound to be subjective to a greater or lesser degree.

This list is descriptive rather than prescriptive. It is simply a menu to consult and from which to select according to agreed priorities. To include every subject listed here in a working Seminary curriculum would no doubt take a lifetime to teach. May it rather inspire some teaching faculties to review their own curriculum more frequently and to ask questions about the over-all balance of their collective teaching!

PAUL BURGESSGujranwala Theological Seminary,Pakistan January 1997

This list has since been revised in the light of a recent re-numbering of 2,000 of the Seminary Library’s more accessible theological books. The Progressive Classification

listing was followed and various minor adjustments made. June 1998

2000 Edition

The following revisions have been made for this edition:

A complete re-write of the sections on ISLAM (450), DISCIPLESHIP (710) and PUBLIC WORSHIP (830)

Note: The numbers 460-469 are left open for entries of other religions according to locality.

Titles of 460 key books printed in small italics at the right hand side of the classification listing on the right hand pages. These are mainly introductions for beginners in the topic concerned. A star (*) indicates that the book concerned provides an over-view of a general field of study. Some, however, refer to accessible dictionaries; some are classic / substantial statements (#) and a few simply fill a gap in the field concerned. In making this selection, always the needs of a basic theological library have been considered.

Note: Many books listed are out of print but may still be obtainable in second-hand bookshops in the UK. The author will be glad to hear about other titles of a basic introductory nature where subjects have not

yet been covered

A Librarian’s Guide added on the left hand pages to explain alternate locations of subjects. This alerts classifiers and users to other sections where the same topic is treated in a different context. Thus worship is covered under early church worship (169.3), worship in the Bible (199.4), the Church’s worship (as doctrine, i.e. liturgical theology, 294), worship as a means of grace (716.4), public worship (leading in worship, content and liturgical form, 830) and forms of worship (denominational emphases and orders, 883).

Dewey Decimal classifications are printed in small italics to the left of the Progressive Classification numbering. Those underlined indicate publisher’s suggestions.

Further additions and minor changes of list numbering.

A Note on Dewey. The Dewey Decimal System has been abandoned for many reasons, including the following:

* The complication of lengthy numbering after the decimal point (usually a mystery to all except trained librarians!)* A bias towards American ecclesiology.* A disproportional amount of space given to Roman Catholic categories and interests.* The largely non-theological framework of a system devised for a general library.

This latter aspect of Dewey can result in some strange juxtapositions, such as the following under the heading of “Social theology and inter-religious relations”:

261.835 “Relation of the sexes, marriage, family”261.836 “Ecology and population”

EXEGESIS – Accurate explanation for study purposes of what a particular text initially means.(2 Tim 2:15) EXPOSITION – Exposing in the text principles which are latent (waiting to be uncovered) in the passage and applying them to life.

Note on the Organization of the Church History section:

Church History and Historical Theology are notoriously difficult to organize in a consistent way. Events, periods, people, movements, trends, geographical areas, ministries, beliefs, and controversies all compete as headings! We have tended to emphasize doctrines and controversies under Historical Theology, and people, periods and places when treating Church History.
