About IBRI:

The Interdisciplinary Biblical Research Institute is a group of Christians who see a desperate need for men and women convinced of the complete reliability of the Bible who will:
     (1) get training both in Biblical studies and in some other academic discipline, and
     (2) use this training to help other Christians deal with the many areas where non-Christian teaching is so dominant today.
We believe that such trained people can be effective in removing many stumbling blocks that keep others from the Gospel.

This web site has been developed and is maintained as a free labor of love by volunteers who believe
that there is an urgent need to make available the lectures and literature that are presented here.

Our intent is to allow free downloads of these lectures and literature in single copies for personal use.
To this end we have purchased web services and posted as much of this material for download as
seems prudent. At present, about 20% of the total available is currently posted.

Our desire is to post all of the material, and add much worthy, new material. As web usage shows
the value of these postings, we plan to add more material for download. If you desire particular items
that are not currently available for download, please contact the webmaster.
