This directory focuses on libraries in the Caribbean whose primary interests are theology and religion. The aim of the authors in creating this directory was three-fold: to raise the profile of the Caribbean's theological libraries, facilitate co-operation among the libraries themselves and possibly even their parent institutions, and to provide an invaluable guide to researchers who may wish to draw on the rich and, in some cases, unique resources held by these libraries. Criteria for inclusion were simple. First, the institution had to use a classification scheme, either conventional or in-house, to organize its materials. Second, the directory is limited to libraries belonging to Christian denominations: Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Mainline Protestant, and Evangelical including Pentecostal Churches.
