Many Christian librarians find it difficult to integrate their religion and their profession. This text helps in this integration. It provides a foundation for further discussion of library issues from a Christian perspective and provides insight into Christian librarians. Both Christian-sponsored institutions and individual librarians of a Christian denomination will benefit. This compilation of 16 essays is divided into two main parts, the first on theory and the second on practice. The first part covers topics such as A Brief Introduction to Christianity and Its Worldview, The Impact of the Christian Faith on Library Service and A Philosophy of Christian Librarianship. Topics in the second part include Library Encounters Culture, Keeping Sunday Special in the Contemporary Workplace Culture and The Role of the Library in the Character Formation of the Christian College Student.
