ebrary®, a leading provider of digital content products and technologies, today announced that over 350 titles in the Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Series are available as e-books for the first time, including over 200 titles that until recently were no longer available in print. Additionally, libraries and other organizations may save up to 50% off list price on individual titles in the series, published by Continuum imprint T&T Clark, through the end of the year.

Over the past 30 years, the Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Series has established an unrivalled reputation for cutting-edge international scholarship in Biblical Studies. Attracting leading authors and editors including George Aichele, Athalya Brenner, David J.A. Clines, Philip R. Davies, John Day, J. Cheryl Exum, and Lester L. Grabbe, the series takes many original and creative approaches, including innovative work from historical and theological perspectives, social-scientific and literary theory, and more recent developments in cultural studies and reception history.

“As a long time ebrary partner, we are excited to make this new selection available digitally for the first time through ebrary’s world-renowned interface, which is trusted by thousands of libraries and millions of end-users worldwide,” said Ken Rhodes, Director of Sales and Marketing at Continuum. “We know that ebrary’s superior research tools and other unique functionality will be of great benefit to anyone studying religion by allowing them to quickly and easily find, use, and manage the information they need online.”
