About the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) Resource Library

The ATS Digital Resource Library is structured to reflect the four strategic priorities adopted by the ATS Board of Directors in 2019:

Equip leaders for effective change.
Explore innovative business and organizational models.
Enhance adaptive work in schools' educational missions.
Engage the membership in its broad diversity.

These strategic priorities support the mission of ATS to promote the improvement and enhancement of theological schools to the benefit of communities of faith and the broader public. They also build upon our vision to foster and support innovation in theological schools and to strengthen ATS' 100-year legacy of quality theological education.

You can find more information about ATS on our website: www.ats.edu

Search Tips

Explicit Phrase Search: Use quotes around a phrase to search explicitly for that phrase (e.g. "strategic assessment"). For example, if you search for strategic assessment WITHOUT quotes, you will get results that include strategic OR assessment anywhere in the document. If you search for "strategic assessment" WITH quotes, you will only get results where the full phrase is present.
Wildcard: Use the asterisk wildcard character (*) to match parts of words (e.g. strateg*). A search for strateg* will return results for both strategy and strategic.
Change sort to Recency to get the most recently added items, rather than the default sort of Relevance.
