Steven Barabas Keswick Collection
Scope and Contents
Though the collection contains manuscript material from Steven Barabas, such as correspondence and drafts of his dissertation, the vast majority of the collection comprises published material by Keswick authors. These include pamphlets, books, and periodicals.
The Keswick Collection is composed of over 900 books, pamphlets and periodicals from this excellent library. Steven Barabas' personal and academic interest in Keswick inspired him to write his Th.D. thesis on this topic. The completion of his work was hindered by a fire which destroyed the first draft, but it was finished in 1948 and later published as So Great Salvation (1952).
The collection includes books and pamphlets written by people associated with the Keswick Movement. Prominent among these are J. Stuart Holden, J. C. Metcalfe, F. B. Meyer, G. Campbell Morgan, H. C. G. Moule, Andrew Murray, Ruth Paxton, Jesse Penn-Lewis, A. T. Pierson, Alexander Smellie, I. Lillias Trotter, and Gordon Watt. A nearly-complete run of the Keswick annual, dating from 1874 is also available along with copies of The Overcomer from 1909-1948.
