Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary Theses Online

Many Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary Masters theses and Doctor of Ministry projects are available as PDFs through the online catalog.

To search for these theses, follow the steps below:

From the main library page (http://www.gordonconwell.edu/library) search for the type of thesis or project you would like to find in the "Search the Online Catalog" search box:

For Doctor of Ministry projects originating at GCTS, type "thesis d min gordon-conwell" (including the quotation marks). For MDiv theses, type "thesis m div gordon-conwell" for MA theses, type "thesis m a gordon-conwell".

You can also narrow your search further by adding a keyword after the last quotation mark. For instance, "thesis d min gordon-conwell" preaching will search for theses dealing specifically with preaching, written by Gordon-Conwell Doctor of Ministry graduates. NOTE: The keyword 'preaching' is OUTSIDE of the quotation marks.

Then hit the "Search" button.

A list of appropriate theses will show up in the online catalog. To the right of the list of results, click the "Collection" link.

A list of different collections will appear. Click the "TREN eDocs" link.

The list of items will be narrowed to only those theses that are available as PDFs in the online catalog. Click one of the document titles to access a link to the PDF.

The PDF is linked in the item record under "Electronic Resource:" as the "Click to download PDF." link.

Once you click the link, the PDF will load in a separate window. It may take some time for the PDF to load, as the size of each item can vary. Once the PDF loads, save the PDF to your desktop.
