Dr. William L. Banks Memorial Library
It’s now a reality! In Room 200 on the second floor of the new main campus building, you’ll find the Institute’s new library dedicated in memory of MBI’s fifth President and fourth Dean, Dr. William L. Banks, who went Home to be with the Lord on April 19, 2020. The library contains approximately 5,000 books including a wide assortment of Bible translations and versions, Bible commentaries, doctrinal studies, systematic theologies, missions, counseling, and Christian biography.
The library includes a large assortment of books and periodicals that focus on African-American history and culture, race in America, urban ministry, public policy, justice, Christian ethics, apologetics, justice, cultural decline, and sociological studies. Pastoral and church leadership, Christian education, world religions, cults, the history of Christianity, homiletics, resources for the study of English, Hebrew and Greek, and hermeneutics are also generously represented in the library collection.
Included in the collection are books of sermons, devotional literature, topical studies on biblical subjects, family ministry, Christian marriage and parenting, singles ministry, small groups, and church management. The library includes books on prayer and stewardship, hymnals and hymn stories, Christian worship, and music. In addition, the library includes atlases, concordances, and other reference books for individual Bible study.
