Description
Contains material concerning the Bible, Christology and other Christian doctrines, moral theology, other faiths, education, religion and the arts, broadcasts, publications, sermons, and miscellaneous spiritual subjects.
See also: attached handlist and slide listings.
Shelving note:
The majority of the papers in the archive are contained in folders to which titles were given by Tinsley and the manuscript numbers have, as their chief element, the first three letters of the folder title. Thus, for example, the folder entitled "Adult education" has the manuscript number 1310/ADU and its contents the numbers 1310/ADU/1, etc. Please note that although the main part of the handlist places and describes the papers within a subject classification scheme, the shelving method is strictly alphabetical. Therefore, for example, if retrieval of two folders from the section VII (Education) entitled "Adult Education" and "Language, theology and the gospel" is required, they will not be found shelved together but shelved under A and L respectively.
