Our Library

W. J. Tunley Memorial Library is part of the Brisbane School of Theology, which is dedicated to offering high-quality, formational, Bible-centred training. WJT seeks to create a welcoming central space for students, staff and visitors that promotes learning, group discussion, private contemplation and community. The collection supports the teaching, learning and research activities of the students and staff, in both English and Mandarin. It also provides formational resources to complement students’ studies, meet the needs of the BST residential community, and encourage life-long learning among alumni, missionary partners, and local churches.
