---Self-description:
"This database incorporates compilations of missions-related
dissertations published in the July 1983, July 1993, and July 2003
issues of the International Bulletin of Missionary Research
[http://www.internationalbulletin.org/], and has been expanded in its
scope. First, it includes English-language doctoral dissertations
without regard to country of origin. Secondly, rather than focusing
narrowly on missions, it also includes dissertations dealing with
Christianity outside the West. Excluded are dissertations about
Christianity in Europe, Australasia, and North America, with the
exception of aboriginal missions in those areas. Thirdly, it expands
the chronological scope to include dissertations presented since
1900. Fourth, the earlier compilations were limited to 'research'
doctorates, understood to include the Th.D. and the Ph.D.; the
present compilation includes all doctoral level dissertations and
theses that we could identify, including the D.Min. and D.Miss.

Finally, we consulted many more sources to identify theses and
dissertations than did the predecessor compilations, including
websites and published bibliographies (a bibliography of sources
consulted will be included with the database). As a result, the
number of titles identified increased from 2,371 in its three
predecessors to nearly 5,193. Updates to the database have increased
the number of titles to 6,113 as of April 2010. The creation of this
database was undertaken in collaboration with the International
Bulletin of Missionary Research, and made possible by the support of
the Overseas Ministries Study Center [http://www.omsc.org/], New
Haven, Conn.."
