Anti-racism, in general, is a great concept to use when teaching information literacy and the paper discusses how antiracism information literacy can be taught and learned as part of theological and religious studies education. This paper was presented at the ATLA Annual Conference in 2017. Since the conference was in Atlanta, the article begins with two stories about the scholar DuBois who lived there, and which are also used to highlight information literacy concepts.","PeriodicalId":30108,"journal":{"name":"Theological Librarianship","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44918528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Flagged is a serious blunder in one of the most famous biographies of Martin Luther ever written: Roland Bainton’s reproduction of what he should have known was an established forgery as “‘A Mighty Fortress’ in Luther’s Hand.” But there is more to the story than just this response to the question first posed by Dr. Tomasz Ososi?ski. Uncovered is not just the eighty years of debate over authenticity that Bainton overlooked, but a statement (and no less than four reproductions) to the contrary in the very authority he cites. Why did his colleagues in Germany, who may have been the only ones to catch the gaffe, do so very little to set the record straight, despite the extensive experience that they and their predecessors (including the duped scholar-librarians of the late 19th century) had had with Luther forgeries? The paper concludes with a comment on the present impact of this (as yet still uncorrected) “fake news” in print and online.","PeriodicalId":30108,"journal":{"name":"Theological Librarianship","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42109959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Digital media—conceived as technologies and artifacts, as well as the systems of knowledge and values shaping our interaction with them—cannot be analyzed outside the system of beliefs and performative rituals that inform and prepare their use. How did we come to associate things such as mind reading and spirit communications with the functioning of digital technologies? Does the dignity accorded to the human and natural worlds within traditional religions translate to gadgets, avatars, or robots? How does the internet’s capacity to facilitate the proliferation of beliefs help blur the boundaries between what is considered fictional and factual? The chapters in this volume address these and similar questions, challenging and redefining established understandings of digital media and culture by employing the notions of belief, religion, and the supernatural. From a theoretical standpoint, this book relies on two different approaches that complement each other: a media archaeological approach that looks at the continuities and at the subtle relationships between earlier media histories and the contemporary landscape, and a perspective informed by digital media studies that takes into account the technical and social specificities of digital technologies.","PeriodicalId":30108,"journal":{"name":"Theological Librarianship","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46980864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mombo","doi":"10.31046/TL.V12I1.543","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31046/TL.V12I1.543","url":null,"abstract":"Doing research with a colleague a few years ago, I visited several aging people to discuss their encounters with missionaries and the Christian faith. They gave us valuable information; some shared with us letters and pictures they were holding, and they were impressed that we had showed some interest in what they had. They were excited to share, and we were glad to receive. This made us curious about what else was kept in the houses and offices, material that was being eaten away by mold and ants. How would these be recovered and be of use for the young and future generation of researchers of world Christianity and particularly African Christianity? Scholars may not have access to the old people with whom we were privileged to meet with in our field research. Addressing the group, my colleague reminded them that they were important for the church because they are our living libraries, and meeting with them was such an honour because we got to hear what was not in any of the university libraries we had consulted. He concluded with the remark, “When an old person dies, a whole library is lost.” It is with this view that I offer my reflection on the exhibition “Expressions and Encounters: Experiencing the Histories and Theologies of African Christianity in the Collections of Pitts Theology Library.” For my experience of the exhibition was nostalgic, a mixture of joy and sadness: joy because I was able to see it myself, sadness because there was much more that could be included but was still rotting away in some homes of early Christian converts, and we have no means to retrieve it for good use. While visiting the exhibition, certain questions came to mind in terms of how many of the students of African Christianity would never have a chance to see and experience such materials. Studying away from home to use the kinds of material that was displayed would be an expensive prospect for them, and they can only get information from secondary data. This raised for me a further fundamental question on the imbalances there are in terms of research and production of knowledge. I am grateful, however, for being there at that time to experience the exhibition. My reflections cover areas that were of interest to me but also are themes that continue to be discussed in the story of the African church. Most significant of these is the role of women in the church.","PeriodicalId":30108,"journal":{"name":"Theological Librarianship","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44771499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
