Library Resources for Alumni

Gordon-Conwell Libraries, in cooperation with the Office of Alumni Engagement, have put together a list of free research resources for Gordon-Conwell alumni. Our featured alumni resources, listed below, provide access to high-quality, full-text articles in top theological journals. In addition, alumni can access an extensive collection of Bible study videos, sermons, and devotionals through RightNow Media.
