Faithlife | Seminary Remote Learning Library

Due to the coronavirus crisis, many colleges and seminaries have been forced to send their students home to finish the semester online. Unfortunately, it’s much harder to take your campus library online than to do video lectures and online assignments. But with a robust online library, your students can do scholarly research without leaving their homes. Faithlife is temporarily providing free access to a remote learning library for your students and faculty to use through June 1, 2020.

Don’t let remote learning leave your students without their books.

Enjoy the thousands of resources included with each remote learning library license:

Lexham Press Master Collection (363 vols.): This is the entire library to date from Lexham Press, including commentary series like the Evangelical Exegetical Commentary Series and the Osborne New Testament Commentary Series.
Classic Scholarship Collection (1,211 vols.): We’ve pulled together hundreds of works from the most trusted Christian authors and teachers of all time: Augustine, Aquinas, Calvin, John Wesley, Charles Spurgeon, and more.
Logos Mobile Education Courses: Help your students learn from top Bible scholars with access to our full catalog of online courses, including video lectures, transcripts, and activities to keep them learning wherever they are.
Galaxie’s Theological Journal Library (900+ vols.): Encompassing over 170 years of academic research, these journals represent the finest evangelical scholarship, analyzing current scholarly debates and making it possible to participate in the cutting edge of biblical and theological research.
International Critical Commentary Series (62 vols.): The ICC has long held a special place among works on the Bible. It brings together all the relevant aids to exegesis: linguistic and textual, archaeological, historical, literary, and theological, with a comprehensiveness and quality of scholarship unmatched by any other series.

Step 1: Find or Create Your School Group for Free

Check to see if your school already has a Faithlife group. If not, create one for your school now.

Find your group OR create a new group

If you create a new group for your school, be sure to set your privacy level to “private” during your group set-up so that your students can find your group and request to join.

If you already have a group, make sure that the privacy levels are at “private” by navigating to Settings > Group Settings in the sidebar of your group page and looking under the Privacy and Safety heading for your group.

Step 3: Invite Your Students

Our team will confirm your school’s request within 2–3 business days and unlock the appropriate number of licenses. You can then invite your students to your school’s online group to give them library access.

How to Invite

Invite directly from your school group. From faithlife.com, navigate to your school’s group. Click Invite in the top right, then Add contacts to upload the email addresses of your students and faculty. Personalize your message so your students and faculty know what to do next. We recommend telling your students to click the link in the email to create a Faithlife account (if they haven’t already) and join the group.
Send them an email with a link to your group. To do this, copy and paste the link for your school’s group from your browser window and link to this in your school’s email communication with students.

Be sure to send your students to our student instructions page if they want more information on how to access their libraries with Logos.
