Kaiser-Ramaker Library

The Kaiser-Ramaker Library's primary mission is to provide the information resources necessary to meet the instructional and research needs of the seminary.

The core of these resources is a collection of more than 72,500 volumes. This collection continues to increase by the addition of approximately 1,000 volumes per year and from over 300 current periodical subscriptions. These volumes are carefully selected monographs relevant to theological studies and marriage and family therapy.
