definition for: #laniertheologicallibrary

A public library focused on research in theology, philosophy and related topics. Over 100,000 volumes including scholar's collections and a number of antiquities and artifacts. Beautifully and artfully designed in northwest Houston, the library is modeled after several aspects of libraries and study areas in Oxford University. An Educational wing is being added which will allow for student study carrels and larger public events. The library hosts scholars and academicians for lectures, free to the public, through out the academic year. Additionally, the library grounds allow visitors to view and reflect in the full size replica of one of the first recorded Christian churches (Turkey, circa 5th century, original photos by Gertrude Bell,1911)
