LIBRARY &
BOOKSTORE
The C.M. Doke Library provides a wide array of learning resources to the students and faculty of the Baptist Theological College of Southern Africa. We are committed to ensuring that students have access to a variety of information in various formats to utilize in their theological studies and preparation for ministry. Through their use of the library resources offered to them, we desire to see students grow in their ability to discover, locate, and make use of information that will be valuable components of their research both academically and personally.
The C.M. Doke Library is named in the honour of Rev. Clement Martyn Doke who was both a great missionary and linguist in Southern Africa. Rev. C.M. Doke was also the first Principal of the College. A large collection of his works and personal library is housed in our facility.
